Bogoljub Karic – How to Stay Safe When Gambling

Gambling on sports or casino games can be a lot of fun and from time to time you may even win some money. There is however a very important aspect of this which you need to bear in mind and that is being responsible when you are gambling. So many people fall into the trap of thinking that they can win big when betting, which can quickly turn into an addiction which ruins their lives. I was just talking to my friend Bogoljub Karic about this last week because back in college we had a friend who got in far too deep with online gambling, and it ruined his future. There are many ways in which you can enjoy this without the risk of things going wrong and here are some tips on doing just that.

Daily Limits

If you look in the settings section of the gambling app you’ll see that there are many different limits which you can set yourself. These limits are in place to promote responsible gambling and even if you don’t have a problem, they are still worth using. For example you can set a daily deposit amount so that you don’t go over what you are supposed to, this helps avoid people trying to chase their losses. Any changes which are made to these limits take a day to work, so by tomorrow you will probably have lost the desire to go chasing. Another limit which is worth using is the time limit, set it to an hour so that you can’t use the service for more than an hour per day.

Bet on What You Know

It is really important that you are only betting on the sports that you know, or the casino games which you know how to play. If you find yourself betting on a 3rd division Icelandic football game which you know nothing about, it is time to close the app and do something different with your life. This is the danger which betting and gambling can present, the lure of winning money can often make us lose reason, and this is why many will bet and gamble on sports and games which they don’t know anything about.

Profit is Profit

Some people fall into the trap of betting bigger on things after they have won some money. The way that they justify this to themselves is by thinking that if they lose it, they never had it in the first place. Ultimately however money is money so if you have won already, that is now your money, not profit which you can now risk. When you do have a good win, I always like to take a few days off, take the money out of my account and then revisit things a few days afterwards. This makes sure that it is always about fun, and that I am able to actually enjoy that profit.

Be safe and you can have a great time.
