Tips On How To Gamble More Responsibly
By Ashton Jenkins
Here are some tips I have found that will help protect you from yourself when gambling in an online casino or land based casino.

Time Limits:
Before you start gambling you should decide on a time to stop gambling and set your watch or cell phone to alert you at that time. When that time comes no matter if you are winning or losing will stop gambling and at least for a few hours leave the casino or log off the online casino and do some non gambling activity, even if it is just eat shower and take a nap. This will help stop you from loosing track of time and eventually all your money as well.

Cap Your Spending:
This method gives you a little more control over the amount you can lose in any given gambling session. You pick an amount of money you are prepared to lose. If and when that limit is reached you cash out from your game. By capping your time you can still lose lots of money before the limit is reached but with this method you can play for an hour of 12 hours as long as you do not reach the predetermined limit. To help make sure that you do not spend over your limit you can only bring the amount you want to gamble with to the casino and leave the rest in the car, the hotel room or with a friend to help guarantee that you stick to the limit.

Life Line:
No one should ever go to a casino alone. By going alone there is no one who can say "hey buddy don't you think you are spending too much?" this is important because sometimes we all need to be brought back to reality. Sometimes in a casino we can not only lose track of time, but we also loose track of reality. Chips do not appear to be real money, and where as you cam t the casino

to lay a few hundred at the tables but before you know it you have spent over a thousand and cleaned out your savings.

Internet Cafe:
The good thing about gambling in an online casino at an internet café terminal is that you have to pay by the hour to play on the computer so you can play for an hour or 2 then when your time is up the computer will log you off and you are done gambling. Another good thing about an internet café is that you can not get overly comfortable there. At home you can continue to play and play but in a café you will eventually get tired of sitting there and will leave.

Gambling from Your Cell Phone:
This type of gambling is becoming more and more popular. Especially with people who have long commutes on busses and trains to get back and forth to work. What better way to kill some time then with a few hands of blackjack. To stop yourself from losing all track or time and reality I suggest that you use a cell hone with prepaid talk time. This is so when the phone runs out of credits it will disconnect from the casino and without another card you can not get back online, and the time it will take you to get another card and reactivate the phone the casinos spell over you will be broken.
