If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 800-333-HOPE for free

Before you place a bet, take a moment.

Ask yourself:

  1. Have I set a clear limit?
  2. Am I using money I can afford to lose?
  3. Am I trying to win something back?
  4. Am I in the right mindset to make this decision?
  5. Would I be okay if this money was gone?

If any answer gives you pause—that’s your signal.

Smart moves aren’t about avoiding risk completely.
They’re about managing it wisely.
