Betting should be entertainment with a fixed price, never a way to make money. Decide what you can afford to lose before you deposit, and treat that number as spent.
Warning signs
Chasing losses, betting money earmarked for bills, hiding betting from people close to you, and betting to escape stress are the four signals professionals look for. Any one of them is reason to take a break.
