Keep the mayhem on the stage, not in your life
When the amps are cranked, it's hard to hear anything else. Gambling can turn into an addiction, and if Inferno Mayhem has started to burn through your money, your rest, or your relationships, kill the volume and ask for help. Support is playing around the clock, and no one has to face the noise alone.
Set a hard cap you can afford to lose before the first riff, and don't push past it.
Inferno Mayhem rages for hours. Put a clock on the set and walk off when it ends.
Cranking bigger bets after a loss just fuels the fire. Let the run end and step off.
Leave the pit often. A breather keeps your head clear between songs.
