If you enjoy having a a cocktail every so often, leave your cash at home if you are going to do your consuming in a casino. I’m serious. Clean out your handbag, your wallet, and leave all money, plastic credit and cheques back at the hotel. Pack only the money you expect to spend on drinks, tips and whatever pocket change you expect to throw away and keep the remainder behind.
Pessimistic? Not by any means. Realistic more like. You could have a profit after a intoxicated evening out with your comrades and be blessed sufficiently to hit a long toss at a smokin craps table. Keep that account considering that it’s as short-lived as it gets if you regularly drink and bet. The pair just do not mix.
Keeping your cash back at the hotel might be a bit excessive, but precautionary actions for dramatic actions is essential. If you play to succeed, then don’t drink and bet. If you are able to afford to be wasteful with your cash nary a worry, then consume all the no charge beer you are able to handle, but do not pack charge cards and checkbooks to toss into the mix of following squanderings after your hooched up head throws away every little thing!
Permit me to carry this one step further. Don’t drink and then hop on the internet to bet in your preferred online casino either. I enjoy a drink from the coziness of my condo, but seeing that I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have credit cards in close proximity, I can’t consume alcohol and bet.
Why? Although I don’t consume alcohol a lot, when I drink, it is definitely adequate to blur my better judgment. I gamble, so I do not drink when betting. If you are more of a drinker, do not wager when you do. When mixed, both create a dangerous, and expensive, cocktail.
