Understanding the Risks
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
- Gambling should be fun, not a way to make money
- The house always has an edge in the long run
- Even the best predictions cannot guarantee wins
- Past performance does not predict future results
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you spend more time or money gambling than you intended?
- Have you tried to cut back on gambling but couldn't?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to stop?
- Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve negative feelings?
- Have you lied to family members about your gambling?
- Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to gamble?
- Has gambling affected your relationships, job, or education?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may have a gambling problem. Please reach out for help.
Tips for Responsible Gambling
Set Limits Before You Start
- Budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start
- Time: Set a time limit for your gambling sessions
- Losses: Never chase losses by betting more
- Wins: Don't assume a winning streak will continue
Keep Perspective
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not income
- Never bet money you can't afford to lose
- Don't gamble when upset, stressed, or under the influence
- Take regular breaks and don't let gambling dominate your time
Know When to Stop
- Stop when you reach your predetermined budget
- Walk away when you're ahead
- Never try to win back losses
- Recognize that tomorrow is another day

Remember
Predictions are not guarantees. Our analytics are probabilistic and any individual prediction can be wrong.
The odds are against you. Bookmakers set odds to ensure their profit. Long-term profit from gambling is extremely difficult.
It's okay to ask for help. Problem gambling is treatable. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
If gambling is no longer fun, it's time to stop.
