If you choose to gamble, do so for entertainment purposes- If your gambling is no longer an enjoyable activity then ask yourself why you are still “playing”? 2. Treat the money you lose as the cost of your entertainment- Treat any winnings as a bonus. 3. Set a dollar limit and stick to it- Decide before you go not only what you can “afford” to lose, but how much you want to spend. Do not change your mind after losing. 4. Set a time limit and stick to it- Decide how much of your time you want to allow for gambling. Leave when you reach the time limit whether you are winning or losing.
