No rule changes the odds. What rules change is how long your money lasts and how you feel at the end of a session. These five are simple enough to remember and strong enough to matter.
1. Budget first, play second
Decide a weekly amount before you deposit — something you’d happily spend on a film and dinner. Once it’s gone, the week is done.
2. Fix your bet size
Choose a stake around 1–2% of the session budget and keep it. No doubling after a loss, no “big one” after a win.
3. Set a stop-loss
Half the session budget is a common line. Hit it and close the app, even if you feel a win is “due”.
4. Set a stop-win
The rule people skip. If you’re up by a set amount, stop and withdraw part of it. Ending ahead is a good night.
5. Never borrow to play
Not from friends, not from credit apps, not from money meant for bills. If you feel the urge, take a break.

Why rules beat willpower
In the moment, every round feels like it might be the one. Rules decided beforehand don’t have feelings. Write them on a note, put it next to your phone, and let the note make the hard calls.
