No chasing

Betting should stay a small part of a good week. These are the habits the dugout sticks to, and where to get help if it stops feeling small.

Before the match

  • Decide your stake before kickoff and do not top it up in play.
  • Only bet money you have already set aside for fun.
  • Never chase a loss with a bigger slip.

Signs it is getting heavy

  • You hide bets from people close to you.
  • You borrow to bet or to cover losses.
  • You feel restless when you are not betting.

Tools your bookie should offer

Licensed bookies usually offer deposit limits and self-exclusion in the account settings. Use them early, before things go wrong.
