Straight from the horse's mouth :
- Decide ahead of time how much money you plan to gamble with.
- Play knowing that it is likely that you will lose more often than win – so make sure you are playing with money you can afford to lose.
- Make informed decisions about your gambling – know the odds.
- Think of gambling as a form of entertainment – not a way to make money.
- If you win big, enjoy! But remind yourself it will probably never happen again.
- Don’t gamble when you are tired, bored, anxious or angry.
- Keep track of how much time and money you spend on gambling.
- Take your family and friends seriously. If they are worried about your gambling, they might be seeing something you don’t see.
- Only use your own money to gamble. Don’t borrow.
- Realize that in most forms of gambling you have no control over the outcome of the game – it’s random.
- When gambling, take breaks - walk around, eat, or go outside to clear your head.
- Keep your head clear when you gamble – limit your use of alcohol.
- Balance gambling with other leisure activities.
- Go gambling with someone who doesn’t have a problem with gambling.
- Don’t make the hole bigger - don’t chase your losses.
- Don’t take your credit and bank cards with you when you gamble.
- Set a time limit on how long you will gamble.
- Make your own decisions about gambling – don’t gamble because others want you to.
- Don’t use gambling as a way of avoiding negative feelings or situations.
- Talk to someone you trust if you are concerned about your gambling.
