The following tips may assist you to gamble in a safer fashion:

1. Gambling IS NOT a way to make money
Think of betting as an entertainment expense.
Over time you will lose more money than you will earn as it is the way the concept is designed to function.

2. Only bet on funds you are capable to afford to part ways with
Never jeopardize your rent budget etc.

3. Set your limit upfront
When the amount you have decided to play with is gone – stop playing.

4. Do not chase losses
Bigger losses will usually be the result of chasing losses.

5. Use good judgment
It is your main line of defense against out of control gambling.
