Do Not Drink … Gamble!
If you like to have a drink every so often, keep your cash at home if you set out to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Leave your purse, your billfold, and leave all cash, charge cards and cheques back at the hotel. Take only the cash you expect to use on beverages, tips and only the pocket change you intend to burn and keep the rest behind.
Cynical? Absolutely not. Just realistic. You could have a win following a intoxicated night out with your acquaintances and be blessed enough to hook a 25 minute toss at a hot craps table. Hang on to that story because it is as short-lived as it gets if you continuously consume alcohol and bet. The two just do not go well together.
Leaving your cash back at the hotel might be a little excessive, but defensive actions for dramatic behavior is compulsory. If you wager to profit, then do not drink and gamble. If you are able to afford to toss aside your money nary a concern, then consume all the gratis beer your stomach are able to handle, but do not pack credit cards and cheques to throw into the mix of following losses after your dead drunk brain throws away every little thing!
Let me to carry this a single step further. Don’t drink alcohol and then jump on the web to play in your favorite online casino either. I enjoy a beer from the coziness of my condominium, however seeing that I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have charge cards at my fingertips, I can not consume alcohol and gamble.
Why? Despite the fact that I don’t drink to excess, once I drink alcohol, it is definitely enough to cloud my better judgment. I wager, so I don’t drink alcohol when wagering. If you are a drinker, do not wager when you do. When mixed, both create an awful, and crazy, cocktail.
