Gamings Tips
Tips won’t help you win a jackpot, but they will help you walk out on top – by having fun and sticking to your budget.
Bet only the amount of money you can afford to lose.
Make sure you spend only a portion of the money you’ve set aside for entertainment. Never use the money you need for essentials, such as rent, food, bills, transportation and tuition.
When you bet your money, you also risk losing it.
Balance your activities.
If playing games of chance is your only activity, you increase the risk of losing control over your gaming habits.
It’s a question of balance.
Set your spending limits and stick to them.
Before you start to play, determine the amount of money you want to bet.
Set a time limit.
Set a limit to the amount of time you want to play, either in minutes or hours. Make a habit of keeping your eye on the time and take breaks Set a limit to the number of days you want to play, either per week, per month or per year.
Don’t play if you are feeling depressed or anxious οr when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Have the right attitude. It’s difficult to make informed decisions when we’re going through difficult times.
Know how the game works and what the odds are before playing.
The more you know about the games, the better equipped you are to make informed decisions before and while you play.
Remain realistic, the outcome of games is random and unpredictable.
The amount of time and money you spend playing are the only factors under your control.
Play for fun, not to make money.
If you play games of chance, the result is never certain and losing is always a possibility. So look at gaming as entertainment, like catching a concert or watching a movie, not a source of income.
Get support.
If your involvement with games of chance is starting to cause problems to your relationships, you start losing more money than you can afford, or if you think you might have a problem, reach out and speak to a professional.
