Smart Online Casino Playing

The following a a simple point-by-point set of guidelines for smart play at an online casino, tested and approved by the Guru himself.

1. Budget your money and stick to it no matter what, win or lose.

2. Gamble only with money you can afford to lose - that means EXTRA cash on hand not needed for other more important things.

3. By deciding how much you are able to spend before you start gambling in a session, you know exactly how far to go if your luck doesn't seem present.

4. If you start to lose, keep to your loss limit. This cannot be stressed enough.

5. Calculate a solid goal for your winnings, then put some firmly in your pocket - that way you can play only with the remainder and come out ahead each time.

6. When you go on a string of wins, very carefully increase you bets... keep it gradual and you'll never overextend..

7. Never play when you are tired, under immense strain, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

8. Choose online casino tables with limits that suit your budget. You should be able to cover at least 25 bets at any table you play on -- e.g. at a $5 table, your bankroll ought to be at least $125.

9. Online casino play can indeed be profitable. But keep to a reasonable expectation for your winnings.

10. If you loss five consecutive times, leave the table. Choose a different online casino if you must, but don't chase!

11. Walk away with more than you came with if possible... if not, then just have fun !
