Keep the decision separate from the race
You can follow racing without placing a wager. If you choose to bet, participate only where it is legal, meet the applicable age requirement, and use money you can afford to lose.
Set limits before you begin
- Set a firm spending and time limit in advance.
- Do not chase losses or borrow money to wager.
- Do not wager while impaired, distressed, or under pressure.
- Stop when wagering no longer feels recreational.
No outcome is guaranteed
