Tips to keep sports betting fun
It is very wise to keep a close eye on the amount you want to spend on betting. Players who manage their budget well can play longer with the amount they have available, but they often also earn more than players without good budget management.
Place a bet for fun
Betting on sports should above all be fun. Placing a bet every now and then doesn't have to be a problem.
Sometimes friends, family members or colleagues can influence you to make a bet even though you may not have the desire or money to do so.
Stand strong and only place a bet if you want and can afford it!
Before you start betting, determine how much you can spend
It can sometimes be tempting to bet a large part of your playing budget on one bet. Especially when the odds are so lucrative that you can make a big hit.
No matter how much you know about sports, betting on sports remains a game of chance. You, as a player, have no influence on the outcome of a match you bet on. So you can always lose.
It's therefore important to spread your money. If you go all-in and lose the bet, no matter how certain it seemed, you're broke. That's of course a shame.
Take your loss
It's tempting to bet money on bets with high odds (small chance of winning). But this can cause you to lose more and more money as the team or athlete you are betting on is unlikely to win.
Don't combine too many matches
Be honest about how often you bet on sports betting
Being honest with yourself, but also with others, ensures that you maintain control over your sports betting.
Do you notice that lying is becoming more and more common? Or do you forget how many times you have bet on a match or athlete? Then there is a good chance that you are developing a problem with betting.
So keep a close eye on your betting behavior.
We have developed an online monitor card for this purpose that can give you insight into how often and when you bet.
Ask for advice if you notice that you are losing control
Do you feel like you're betting more and more? Or that you lose money that you actually cannot afford to lose?
Then it is wise to ask for help. Do you want to know where you can ask for help? Check our web page 'Help with gambling problems'.
