Gamble Safe!
Don’t allow gambling to take over your life! If you’re going to gamble, consider the following smart gambling strategies:
Only gamble with money set aside for entertainment, never with money for everyday expenses.
Set a time limit for gambling
Set financial limits. Decide on a loss limit ahead of time and stick to it
Do not borrow to gamble
Do not buy a chance
Do not take credit cards to a gambling venue
Do not gamble alone – go with someone who will help you draw the line
Be aware that risk increases at times of loss and/or depression
Take frequent brakes
Sign a voluntary exclusion agreement at a casino or track – this is a document that authorizes the facility not to let you in
