Smoking and Drinking have warning labels attatched to their packaging...

[koolzie]

gambling on sports for me changes my whole demeanor
my personality when winning is great
when im out with friends and I have action all I care about is figuring out when I can get a second to check my phone with nobody looking so I can see how im doing.

when I dont gamble on sports I have no interest in sports at all except for the home teams. basically sports gambling is a great hobby but is addictive as hell and changes you.

Only ever do it for money you can afford to lose and don't sweat the losses.

I'm a bit partial but I like the SBR homepage warning and wish every gaming site would at least let players know where to get help.

Please! Do not access the information contained on Sportsbook Review if you feel you might have a gambling problem, or are developing a gambling problem. Make your next click to a group that will help you deal with your situation. Gambling addiction can seriously diminish the quality of your life.
Get help, it's never too late.

Realize that the vast majority of gamblers lose and you will also most likely. With that in mind, approach it for entertainment value only and figure out how much you can afford. It can be alot of fun betting on games, but can also be addicting, so set a limit and stick to it.

Warning: Gambling can cause: addictions to posting forums, tax evation, destructive behavior, sudden bouts of extreme happiness closely followed up with severe anger, increased spirts of energy at certain times, balding, high blood pressure and severe bordem in the offseason which may cause you to start a thread of this sort ...

What advice would you give a newbie today everybody?

 

[Dubpoet]

IF you cant win betting equal amounts on games you will be very hard pressed to win changing your amounts!


And I never thought I'd ever say that.

Solid advice to start is to be sure they remember to pick up the free money from Railbirds tennis plays @ Therx.com.

Shows up here and there like Santa Claus in the middle of summer.
