Warning signs

• Betting more than you can afford to lose
• Chasing losses with bigger bets

• Betting to escape stress or negative feelings
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities

Guardrails we recommend

• Set a bankroll. Decide the total you can afford to lose over a month — and never top it up.
• Use unit sizing. Bet 1–2% of your bankroll per wager. BetPick AI's Kelly calculator enforces this.
• Set deposit limits. Every legal US sportsbook lets you cap daily / weekly / monthly deposits.
• Take breaks. "Cool-off" periods (24h – 30d) exist on every regulated book — use them.
• Never chase losses. Doubling up after a loss is the fastest route to a blown bankroll.
