Responsible gambling
Responsible gambling
Drop Coverage is a data tool. It doesn't make anyone money, and no projection is a sure thing. Our own record shows plenty of misses, and so will yours.
Bet on your terms
- Set a budget before the games start, and treat it as the cost of entertainment.
- Never chase losses. A cold night is a cold night.
- Don't bet with money meant for bills, rent or anyone else.
- Take breaks. The NBA plays almost every night; you don't have to.
- Use your bookmaker's deposit limits, time-outs and activity statements.
Signs it's time to talk to someone: betting more than you planned, hiding it from people close to you, borrowing to bet, or feeling anxious when you can't.
