If you bet, Must know your limits

Whether it's your first bet or you've been gambling for years, before you wager, consider the following tips to help you keep gambling fun.

KNOW THE GAME

Make sure you understand the odds and house edge. Over the long run the house always wins.

MAKE YOUR PLAN

Know how much you're willing to lose and how long you want to play - set limits of time and money.

RISK

Know and respect your tolerance for risk.

MONEY

Never borrow money to gamble. Don't gamble money you can't afford to lose.

TEAM UP

Consider teaming up with a friend to help each other stick to your personal betting plan.

TIME

Set a timer on your phone to keep track of time spent betting.

BALANCE

Balance gambling with other activities.

ENTERTAINMENT

Treat gambling as a form of entertainment and not a way to make money.
