If you’ve landed here, I’m guessing you’ve had a rough patch on Dream11. Maybe you lost some money, maybe you’re still trying to recover it. Don’t worry. It happens to everyone — even the best players.

In this blog, I’ll explain How To Cover Loss In Dream11 in the simplest way possible. I’ll also show you how to make a fresh start, how to invest smartly, and how to slowly come back in profit.

Why Loss Happens In Dream11

First, let’s talk about why losses even happen In Dream11:

• Competition is crazy high: Millions of people are playing.
• Matches are unpredictable: Anything can happen in cricket.
• Impact players added: Earlier you picked 11 from 22 players. Now you pick from 24.
• Less experience: If you’re new, mistakes are natural.

When the game itself becomes more complex, obviously, making the perfect team becomes harder too.
And if your luck isn’t helping, no matter how great your team is, things can go wrong.

But the good thing is you can fix it. lets get into steps right away.

Step-By-Step: How To Cover Loss In Dream11

Alright, let’s break it down into easy steps. If you follow these properly, your losses will start getting covered bit by bit.

1. Invest Equally In Every Match

This is the most important rule if you want to cover your loss.
No match is a jackpot match. So don’t treat any match like a “last chance to recover everything.”

If your budget per match is ₹500, put ₹500 in every match.
Not ₹300 in one, ₹700 in another. Stick to a constant plan.

Whether you win or lose one match, do not change your amount randomly based on mood.
Make a weekly or monthly plan and follow it like homework. No changes, no emotional moves.

2. Avoid Risky Matches During Losing Streak

When you’re already losing back-to-back, it’s better to play it safe.
Your luck might be a little off during this phase, and forcing yourself to play more can make things worse.

Take a break for 3–4 matches if needed.
Clear your mind.
Come back fresh.

Stress kills good decision-making. And Dream11 is all about making smart choices under pressure.

3. Start Fresh After Breaks

Once you take a break, forget your old losses.
Don’t sit and cry over what you lost. Don’t overthink.

Make a fresh start.
Follow your original plan without letting emotions control you.

Every match is a new chance. Treat it like a fresh page, not a burden from the last match.

4. Join Multiple Contests, Not Just One Big One

Another big mistake people make: Putting all their money into one contest thinking “Bas yeh match jeet gaya toh sab recover.”

NO! Big mistake.

Split your budget into multiple small contests.
If you lose one, you still have 8–9 others left.
Even if you win only 4–5 out of 10, you’re safe.

This method spreads your risk and increases your chances of slowly building back your profit.

5. Never Waste Money On Paid Prime Memberships

Please, please don’t pay people for “prime teams” or “guaranteed winning teams.”
No one can guarantee you a first rank or a jackpot on Dream11.

Most of them show fake screenshots and fake proofs to make you believe.
Use that same money to play yourself.
Even if you lose, you gain real experience.

Experience will teach you more than any fake prime team seller ever can.

Best Contest Strategy To Cover Loss Based On Your Budget

Now let’s come to the practical part —
Which contests should you join if you want to cover your losses?
It depends on your budget.

For Low Investors (₹50 to ₹500 per match)

If your per match budget is small, don’t worry. You can still make it work.

70% of your budget should go to 3-member contests.

• Entry fee range: ₹21 to ₹39.
• Pick one amount and join multiple contests of that amount.

30% of your budget should go to 4-member contests.

• Entry fee range: ₹15 to ₹45.

Avoid:

• Head-to-Head (H2H) contests (small profits, higher risk).
• Grand Leagues and Mega Contests (no need to dream about crores just yet).

Example:
If you have ₹500:

• ₹350 goes into 3-member contests (₹21 or ₹39 types).
• ₹150 goes into 4-member contests (₹15 to ₹45 types).

For Average Investors (₹500 to ₹5000 per match)

If you can invest a little more, you have more options.

60% of your budget should go into 3-member contests.

• Best entry fee range: ₹135 to ₹390.

30% into 4-member contests.

• Best entry fee range: ₹115 to ₹300.

10% (only if your per match budget is more than ₹800) into Mega/Grand Leagues.

But remember:

• First, make a strong team for small leagues.
• Then copy that team, make slight edits (change 1-2 players, captain/vice-captain), and use it in Grand Leagues.

Don’t make risky, crazy Grand League teams if your small league team isn’t ready.

For High Investors (₹5000+ per match)

If you’re a serious player and investing big:

65% of your budget goes into 3-member contests.
20% goes into 4-member contests.
Rest 15% can go into Grand Leagues with multiple entries (15–20 teams).

Pro tip for High Investors:

• Create 20 slightly different teams for Mega Contests.
• Use a small trick to swap players, and captain/vice-captain smartly.
• If even one team ranks high, jackpot!

I’ll soon share a trick in another blog to create multiple Grand League teams easily without getting confused. Stay tuned!
