Good habits
- Only bet money you can afford to lose: that's your bankroll, and it never gets topped up with your everyday money.
- Keep your stakes consistent (1 to 2% of your bankroll). After a loss, don't stake more to win it back.
- Set a deposit limit on your betting site, and take breaks.
- Tips, even good ones, never guarantee any winnings.

Exclude yourself from gambling
In the UK, gamstop.co.uk lets you block yourself from every licensed gambling site. In France, you can ask the national gambling authority (ANJ) to ban you from gambling on anj.fr: it covers every licensed betting site in France.
