One way of prevention is look down at the spool before each cast.If you see a little loop of line in the spool anywhere you need to fix it before you cast.If you try casting with the little loop you'll get the knot almost everytime.Also make sure the lip on your spool is smooth and free of nicks or cuts that the line will hang up on.Just use some fine emery cloth or fine sand paper and polish the lip if it isn't smooth.It will happen alot if you spool too much braid on the spool and will level off once you take some off but still have a chance for the wind knot.Also lure weight and rod rating can be blamed on some.I've learned these lessons all the hard way.
