If you enjoy a beer every once in a while, keep your money at home if you plan to do your consuming in a casino. I’m serious. Leave your evening bag, your money belt, and keep all money, credit cards and checks at home. Take whatever cash you expect to use on refreshments, tips and only the pocket change you expect to squander and leave the rest behind.
Cynical? Not by any means. Realistic more like. You can have a win after a intoxicated night out with your friends and be lucky enough to hit a marathon roll at a hot craps game. Keep that account seeing that it’s as brief as it gets if you regularly consume alcohol and bet. The two just do not go well together.
Keeping your moolah back at the hotel is a little drastic, but precautionary measures for dramatic behavior is necessary. If you bet to win, then don’t consume alcohol and gamble. If you can afford to burn your $$$$ nary a concern, then consume all the complimentary booze your stomach are able to handle, but do not take credit cards and chequebooks to toss into the mix of chasing losses after your inebriated head squanders every little thing!
Allow me to take this a single step more. Don’t drink and then head on the net to gamble in your favorite online casino either. I enjoy a beer from the coziness of my condominium, but since I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and keep credit cards in close proximity, I can’t consume alcohol and gamble.
What’s the reason? Although I don’t drink alcohol to excess, when I drink, it’s certainly adequate to blur my better judgment. I wager, so I don’t drink alcohol when wagering. If you are a drinker, don’t gamble at the same time. Both make for a ferocious, and crazy, cocktail.
