 BASIC CASINO PLAYER GUIDELINES |
Gambling is by far the most popular pasttime in the US and in many other countries throughout the world. Many people enjoy it as a leisure time like going to the movies, watching a live football game or fishing. The all incur some expense or other but gambling can actually make you money, although very rare over time. Below are some general guidelines on gambling. Please check out the CHOOSING AN ONLINE CASINO page to find some tips on how to choose the best online casino - and in particular avoid the dodgy sites.
- Set yourself a limit on the amount you are willing to risk gambling. This is often referred to as the "BANKROLL".
- Leave your credit cards at home.
- Try to avoid drinking alcohol. Alcohol and risk taking do not mix. Why do the casino's offer free alcoholic drinks? Alcohol impairs your judgment.
- Learn the games - the rules, the odds, the house edge and the optimal strategy for the game you like to play
- Consider gambling as a leisure time - not to make money. Set yourself targets - win or lose. If you are lucky enough to win, know when to quit. If you started with $100 bankroll and you are up $50, why not quit? $50 ahead is better than $100 down.
- Take regular breaks.
- Do not get involved and start chasing losses. That is the fastest way to ruin.
- Set a time limit. Wear a watch. Casinos do not provide clocks and they blacken out the windows so you can't see if it is getting dark or light. Before you know it, you have spent hours in the casino when you only wanted to be there an hour or so.
- Don't flash your money around. There are always dodgy people around.
- Don't wear your wallet in your back pocket or put the handbag on the floor. That is an even faster way to lose your money than playing at the casino.
- Don't be rude to the croupier or threaten the staff in any way shape or form - not even as a joke - if you want to enjoy your evening and stay healthy.
