General Advice
When gambling it is very important that you take the following into consideration and follow a few simple rules.
• Decide on how much money you can afford to bet, not how much you want to bet.
• When this limit has been reached, walk away.
• If you have won a small amount then be sensible and take your winnings.
• Gambling is a form of entertainment and is definitely not a get rich quick scheme.
• There are no guaranteed winning systems no matter what you've heard.
• Gambling can lead to addiction and seriously damage your financial situation.
• If you loose don’t try and chase your losses.
