Why the Order Matters
Because most of the expensive mistakes in this category happen in the first week, when the interface is unfamiliar, the bonus offer looks generous and nobody has yet tested whether the operator pays. Doing those three things in a deliberate sequence turns a week of guessing into a week of measurement, and it costs less than most people's first session.
It also front-loads the two checks nobody runs after the first month: the withdrawal test and the turnover calculation. Once a routine sets in, neither gets done.
What This Week Cannot Tell You
Whether you are ahead. Seven days is far too short a sample to say anything about results, and treating a good week as evidence of a working approach is the single most common misreading in this game. What the week measures is cost and process, both of which are stable, rather than outcome, which is not.
The logging sheet for that session is on the record-keeping page, and every guide is listed on the home page.
