Be serious

Have fun, but not too much

Even if you are just betting for fun, you need to take it seriously. Gambling is dangerously addictive, and you are playing with real money.

Gambling and betting is fun and should always stay fun. If you lose the fun then stop, life isn't worth the stress.

Dont drink and bet!!  

I don't know about you but bad things happen when I have a few beers and sit in front of my computer. That is the only explanation I can offer for the horror of a Kelly Rowland CD sitting in my collection. I know I know, but its ok, I have a wife who people assume owns it.

When it comes to gambling, the consequences can be almost as bad - drining makes you feel braver, clouds your judgement and allows you to make bets that in the morning you didn't like. My advice is to keep track of these bets the same as any other - use one of the pages of Result Checker to use as your "drunk bets" sheet, and see how succesful they are for you. My guess is that you'll stay away from the betting and get back to using the internet for its other use before too long...
