As we’ve seen, randomness and house advantage in gambling ensure that gambling operators make money over time, which means that players lose money over time. Given that’s the case, a good question to ask might be: “How much money is gambling going to cost me?” Check out our section on cost of play and try our cost of play calculators to estimate what your gambling may be costing per hour, per month or per year. You can also print and use a copy of our gambling log sheet to help you keep track of how much time and money you spend.
