Betting should stay fun. No tip is certain: even the best analysts lose regularly. Never stake money you need.
Our advice
- Set a weekly budget and stick to it.
- Never stake more than 30% of your bankroll on the same day.
- Don't chase your losses.
- Don't top up your betting account on impulse.
- Take breaks, especially after a losing streak.
Warning signs
- You stake more than planned or hide your losses from people close to you.
- You borrow money to bet.
- You think about betting all the time.
