- Fix a budget based on what you’d normally spend on travel entertainment, like buying a book or a coffee and a sandwich.
- Don’t run after losses. If your pre-set budget is gone, quit. The game will be waiting for your ride home.
- Remain aware of your surroundings. Keep your device secure and be aware of your personal space.
- Alternate. Divide your time between playing, reading, working, or just watching the world go by.
