Responsible gambling: Setting a Budget for Football

Editorial Team

Using predictions responsibly begins before reading any of them, with a clear budget. This article explains how to set one and keep it.

Affordability

Only use money you can afford to lose entirely and which is not needed for essentials. If a loss would cause stress, the amount is too high.

Keep that money apart from everyday funds. A dedicated account or card makes it visible and prevents mixing.

Add money only once a month, on a fixed date.

Set daily, weekly or monthly limits and stick to them. When a limit is reached, stop.

Check your totals regularly. If you exceed the plan, reduce your limit or pause.

Talk to a trusted person or a recognised organisation if you find it hard to stay within your limits.

Predictions are opinions for information and entertainment. Take part only where lawful and if of legal age.

Only what you can afford to lose.

To protect essentials.
