Gambling New Year’s Resolutions

Do you make it a habit to make resolutions at the start of each year? I have long ago given up on this as I would normally forget about my goals midway through the year. However, I do realize that setting goals are important and it really is up to me to follow through. This year, I am going back to this old habit, with the hopes of being more successful in achieving them.

One area wherein I want to make goals is with respect to gambling. It is very easy to get way too engaged in gambling and I want to make sure that I go about this hobby in the best possible way. Here are some resolutions that I have in mind.

Set aside a specific amount each month
Every time I get my pay, I will now set aside a limited budget which I can spend solely on gambling. This will serve me two ways – I can gamble all I want as long as I am within the budget and I will not be able to touch money that has been set aside for other purposes.

Make a log of all my gambling expenses
This will help me track exactly how much I spend on gambling and this will also make it easy to detect if I am spending too much. On another note, it will also help if I ever have to file tax papers due to gambling wins.

Learn more about a game that I do not play much
I tend to focus on those games that I am well versed in and I think that this is a good idea. However, I would like to expand my horizons a bit and learn something new or at least hone my skills in something that I do not normally play.

How about you, what are your gambling resolutions this year?
