Habits that help
- Set a betting budget for the week or month, and stop when it's gone.
- Size every bet as a small slice of that budget (units and bankroll).
- Use the deposit, time and loss limits your sportsbook offers.
- Don't bet to win back losses, to fix money problems, or when upset or drinking.
- Take breaks. Losing streaks are normal (variance), and they're a good time to step away.
Warning signs
- Betting more than you planned, or more often.
- Chasing losses, or borrowing to bet.
- Hiding betting from people close to you.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you can't bet.
