PLAY SMARTER: THINK LONG-TERM  

Rather than betting off-the-cuff or rash, it pays to focus on the bigger picture. Introduce a gambling budget or a staking plan, a record of your bets, and a record of your balance. This way, you can benefit from a number of advantages and ensure your gambling responsibly.

• Responsible Gambling: BUDGETING AND STAKING LIMITS 

Keeping track of your monthly spending makes it far easier to control, and helps you see your betting expenses clearly in relation to other outgoings. It also reminds you how much you can safely stake on any one bet, which can help reduce the effect of the “gambler’s mentality”, this when winning a bet makes the gambler think they should have risked more to win more. A carefully calculated maximum stake or unit means you can be satisfied that you have won the maximum return.  

• Responsible Gambling: KEEP TRACK OF PROFIT & LOSS 

Staying in profit in the long run is difficult, so keeping track of profit and loss (P&L) helps you appreciate how the losses can stack up. It can also serve as a reminder that despite the bragging, most others that appear successful are likely to be ‘down’ over a lengthy period of time.  

• Responsible Gambling: PUTS YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING IN PERSPECTIVE 

Tracking your bets over time could help you reassess your motivations for gambling. You may find betting more enjoyable once you’ve realised how frequently it is that you actually win.  

• Responsible Gambling: PREVENTS ‘CHASING’  

If you can see things in the long-term, you feel less of a need to address them straight away. When translated to betting, this could be seen as waiting for a horse or team you like to bet on in order to make it more enjoyable and perhaps win more. Meanwhile, accepting that even mathematical strategies involve absorbing losses helps you process you will have bad days and to account for them.
