Decide the money before you go

• Cash for the limit only The ceiling then holds by itself: what is in the pocket is the whole of what can go.
• Cash plus the bank card, just in case The ceiling becomes 120 units plus whatever the card allows, and that second number was never decided at home.
• A card only, so the statement shows it A credit card is borrowed money before it is a record.

The casino cannot lend you more: under the casino law, the operator may under no circumstances give players credit. A card in the pocket is the other way to go past the limit, which is why our advice is to leave it at home.

Bajo ninguna circunstancia el operador podrá otorgar crédito a los jugadores.

• Take it, and leave it in the car with the parking slip The card does the one job it is needed for and never reaches the floor.
• Take it in the wallet — it is only for parking A card within reach is the usual way a limit gets rewritten.
• Skip the plan tonight: with a card there is no point The plan is what makes the cash a ceiling. A card nearby is a reason to be careful with it, not a reason to drop the number.

The rule is not “own no cards”, it is “no card within reach of the table”. Where a card is genuinely needed, it does its job somewhere else.

• The going-out money that is left Its job was already an evening out. Nothing else in the month moves.
• Rent money — payday lands before the rent is due Money meant for everyday costs is what the advice tells you to keep out.
• Money borrowed until payday Borrowed money is not money you can spare: the debt is still there when the evening is over.

Only money you can spare, and never money meant for everyday costs or borrowed.

• Nothing: go another month The limit is money you have. When there is none, the honest number is zero.
• 120 units, borrowed from the friend The evening can end and the debt not.
• Half of it, borrowed — that is more careful A smaller loan is still a loan.

Only gamble with money you have and can spare. The advice we read says not to risk the money you need from day to day, and a loan is money you will need to pay back.

• An alarm set for 23:00, now, before leaving Of the three ways to end an evening offered here, the alarm is the only one decided by you rather than by the evening.
• Leaving when the money is gone That rule leaves the length of the evening to the spins.
• Leaving as soon as I am ahead Waiting to be ahead makes the evening as long as it takes, and it may never come.

Set a time limit and leave when it is reached. Set it on the phone, not in a browser tab: a background tab may not fire on time.

• Nothing changes: the alarm still ends it The leaving time was set for the evening as a whole, and “going well” is exactly the state in which people move it.
• Add an hour — it is going well The reason to add it came from the last few spins rather than from anything decided at home.
• Stay until it stops going well That rule has no end in it at all: the leaving time was decided at home, not by the last few spins.

A limit that moves when the evening is good is not a limit; it is a decision made by the last few rounds.

• Keep the limit: fewer bets, or a cheaper table At 15 units a spin, 120 units covers 8 bets instead of 12. Either accept the shorter evening or find a table that takes your bet.
• Add more money at the door so it lasts That raises the ceiling, which is the one number that was decided at home.
• Bet the smaller amount anyway A table’s smallest bet is a rule of the table, posted for you to read, not a choice. Reading what is posted is lesson 6 of this track.

Of the two numbers on the card, the evening’s length is the one you can move at the door. The limit is not.

• Wait, walk on, or accept a shorter evening At 20 units a spin, 120 units covers 6 bets. A shorter evening keeps both numbers honest.
• Raise the limit to match the table Then the table set the limit, not you.
• Sit anyway and make it back on a good run Making it back means playing for the money, and the regulator’s advice is to play to be entertained.

A table that asks more than the plan allows for is a reason to change the table or the length of the evening, not the limit.

Resuelve tus problemas antes de jugar. Si juegas para evadirlos, quizás los olvides por un rato, pero los problemas seguirán ahí.

• The most that can go in an hour It is the limit divided by the hours: a ceiling for each hour, in the same sense as the limit is a ceiling for the evening.
• What I should spend each hour Read that way it becomes a target, and an evening that is under it starts to look unfinished.
• What the game costs each hour That is a different number, and it comes from the game, not from you — from how fast the table plays, for which we hold no published figure here.

40 units is your ceiling for the hour, a decision about your own money. It is not a price, and it is not a target.

• No: the same money over fewer hours What changed is how much of your ceiling each hour is allowed to use. Nothing about the game moved.
• Yes: each hour now costs more The game does not know how long you planned to stay. Only your ceiling for the hour changed.
• Yes: I now have to spend more each hour Only if the line is read as a target. It is a ceiling: nothing on the card says the money has to be used.

Money an hour is a decision about your own money. Shortening the evening moves it, and moves nothing about the game.
