    Gambling, which in different settings, is referred to as betting, is one of the oldest leisure activities in the world that have evolved into the modern world to attract millions.

    It entails wagering something of value like money with an intent of winning something else more valuable than that which was wagered.

    Initially, betting was a preserve for the wealthy in society, but the advent of technology has democratised leisure activity, attracting millions across the world to leading betting sites like Betway, including those who wager even the smallest amount.

    Just like any other leisure activity, punters should be encouraged to always take precautions before engaging in betting activities.

    Here are some tips for responsible betting:

    • Bet what you can afford to lose

    Betting or rather gambling is a game of chance. It is either you win or lose. The potential win is always bigger than the amount you wage, and this could push you to add more in a bid to win more. The winnings are not a guarantee. Always wager what you can afford to lose.

    • Do not chase your losses

    Once you lose an amount in betting, count it as a closed bet. Never try to recover lost bets by wagering more money. 

    • Stick to a budget

    As a punter, limit yourself to a certain amount that you place on betting for a certain period of time. For instance, you can set a limit of 100USD per month or less or more, depending on your financial ability. This will help you bet responsibly.

    • Know and understand the game you’re betting on

    Most people place their bets on football matches, but betting encompasses a lot of other games including tennis, basketball, horse and dog racing, and a number of e-sports. The best way to understand the sport you are engaging in is to read and watch sports news to acquaint yourself with proper information. With Betway, you can always find a sports match to bet on.

    Make sure you know where all the teams stand in the overall context of the league. Keep an eye out for the current tallies of points to teams and you should be able to have a fair idea of how they’ll fare in the matches to come.

    • Set time limits for yourself and take regular breaks

    Betting/gambling is not a career. As described earlier, a leisure activity should never be a full-time activity.

    • There’s no such thing as a ‘sure bet’

    As stated earlier, betting is a game of chance. Even the best teams lose, so there is nothing like a sure bet as many would make you believe. Place a bet with an open mindset, that you could win or lose. If you win, celebrate, if you lose, move on.

    • Always keep it fun

    Why would you bet on win, lose or draw while there are so many other options that could make your betting fun? Why not bet on the number of goals, who to score or the number of cards to be issued (red or yellow)? Betting doesn’t have to be monotonous, make it fun and enjoyable.
