Gambling’s a hoot if you gamble responsibly, but what does that actually mean?
* You gamble for fun, not because you need the money
* You know that the house always wins in the long term
* You don’t keep throwing good money after bad if you’ve had a losing streak
* You don’t gamble the rent or money you need to pay the bills, buy food or other essentials
* You don’t borrow money to gamble
* You don’t let gambling affect your relationship with your friends or your family
