If you enjoy having a a drink every now and then, keep your cash at home if you are going to do your consuming in a casino. I’m serious. Leave your handbag, your billfold, and leave all cash, charge cards and checkbooks out of the casino. Take only the cash you expect to spend on drinks, tipping and only the pocket change you intend to squander and leave the rest behind.
Cynical? Not by any means. Just realistic. You can have a profit following a intoxicated night out with your compatriots and be blessed enough to catch a long toss at a hot craps game. Don’t forget that adventure seeing that it is as short-lived as it gets if you always drink alcohol and wager. The pair just don’t mix.
Leaving your money back at the hotel is a bit dramatic, but preventative actions for drastic behavior is essential. If you bet to win, then don’t drink and gamble. If you are able to afford to be wasteful with your $$$$ nary a worry, then drink all the free alcohol you can handle, but do not pack plastic credit and checks to throw into the mix of chasing losses after your bombed self squanders all the cash!
Allow me to take this 1 step more. Don’t drink alcohol and then head on the internet to gamble in your favorite internet casino either. I enjoy a beer from the comfort of my home, but seeing that I am connected through Neteller, Firepay and keep plastic credit in close proximity, I can’t drink alcohol and wager.
How come? Although I do not consume alcohol to excess, when I drink alcohol, it’s clearly enough to cloud my better judgment. I bet, so I do not consume alcohol when gambling. If you are a drinker, do not wager when you do. Both make for a ferocious, and crazy, cocktail.
