How to make sure your casino winnings go
further |

Winning it big at the casino
is one hell of a rush, but it seems for a lot of us that our jackpot
doesn’t last as long as we hope it would. Too soon a big win becomes loose
change and suddenly we’re back at where we started. So, if you want to
stretch your winnings a little bit further here are some tips:
Decide
on a saving policy for your wins
For a lot of gamblers, there
doesn’t tend to be a distinction between their gambling winnings and the
money they earn outside of a casino. This can sometimes result in regular
casino goers overspending, gambling recklessly with their winnings in the heat
of the moment, or not being able to recognise the right time to quit. This is
why a smart way to make your winnings go further is to decide on a policy of
how much of your winnings you’ll save and how much you’ll spend while
you’re still playing. This will ensure that you’ll always leave the
casino with something in your pocket.
So, before you start playing with
your gambling allowance, decide how much of your winnings you want to send and
how much you want to keep. For example, you might decide that you’ll put
20% of each individual win aside for you to take home. As long as you stick to
this plan and don’t give in to the temptation to spend your savings after
you’ve run out of chips, you should leave the casino feeling a little bit
victorious and a little bit richer than you would be otherwise.
Once you’ve finished playing, don’t hang
around
Most of us, at one point or another, have done this.
We’ve just finished a game and have set our minds on getting out before
the tables start to cool when, on the way to the door, we spot the slots
machines or the blackjack table. Then, before we realise it, we find ourselves
saying ‘just one more game won’t do any harm’. Sooner or later
our winnings are starting to look pretty measly and we leave feeling like we
haven’t won as much as we thought we have. If you win big and you want to
make the most of your jackpot then the best thing to do would be to get out
while your pockets are full and avoid the temptation to play a few games on the
way out.
Don’t use the money you need for living expenses at
the casino
The worst thing that could happen to you when you spend
big is being forced to spend your winnings on paying bills or paying off debts.
It’s dangerous and it takes the fun out of going to the casino. Your
gambling allowance when you go to the casino should never be more than you can
afford after paying your bills. If you’re looking to play high stakes
games or spend a bit more money on the games you like then you should start
saving instead of risking your credit score. There are little changes to our
lifestyle that we can make to increase our monthly savings. We can cut down on
our water and electricity usage, avoid buying luxury items too often, and make
smarter choices daily expenses like food and travel. If you want to save money
at work then one way to do this would be to reconsider where you get your
supplies from. On websites like cost.co.uk
you can compare the prices of suppliers of different products and services so
that you can start saving a bit more money each month.
Use a
separate account
After a winning session,
which you will not always have, put a good sized amount of your winnings in a
separate account. This way you will not be tempted to include winnings in your
gambling allowance which should just reflect spare money you have after normal
expenses. If you include winnings into the gambling allowance then you are
increasing the amount you can lose on any one day, giving you more chance to
lose your whole gambling bankroll. In this way you have a decent chance of
finishing the year ahead if you are a good gambler, which we encourage you to
be.
Give yourself targets
Once you've decided to stick to
your gambling allowance it is tempting to play until its all gone, or you made
a win. Stick to time limits as its too easy to lose track of time when absorbed
in casino play. Set your phone up with an alarm for maybe an hour or two hours.
If you don't feel like leaving right then, then just have a break with coffee
and see how you feel, often you'll decide its best to come back another time
when you are fresh. |
