Responsible Gambling – My Perspective

My Position

As a bettor with 6 years of experience, I’m well aware of both the allure and risks of gambling. I created this blog to share experiences, but I always maintain one principle: gambling should be entertainment, never your source of income.

My Personal Journey

To be honest, I’ve had moments of impulsive betting and the urge to “win back” losses. These experiences taught me the importance of setting rules and maintaining boundaries.

My Gambling Rules

These are rules I strictly follow personally, and I recommend you consider them:

Money Management

  • Fixed Budget: Maximum 5% of monthly income for betting
  • Single Bet Limit: No more than 10% of total budget per bet
  • Stop-Loss Point: Stop when reaching predetermined loss
  • Profit Protection: Immediately withdraw 50% of winnings

Time Control

  • No betting sessions longer than 2 hours
  • At least 2 days per week with no betting
  • Never bet when emotionally distressed
  • No decisions while intoxicated or tired

Warning Signs

If you experience any of these, please stop immediately and seek help:

  • Borrowing money or using credit cards to bet
  • Lying about your betting
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family
  • Trying to “win back” losses with bigger bets
  • Unable to control betting urges
  • Betting affecting your sleep or appetite
