If you enjoy a beer every now and then, leave your money at home if you are going to do your consuming in a casino. I am serious. Empty your pocketbook, your money belt, and keep all cash, plastic credit and cheques at home. Grab only the money you intend to spend on beverages, tipping and whatever pocket change you anticipate to burn and keep the rest behind.
Contemptuous? Not at all. Realistic more like. You may well have a win following a boozy night out with your compatriots and be lucky sufficiently to catch a marathon toss at a smokin craps table. Hang on to that account seeing that it is as brief as it gets if you regularly drink and bet. These activities simply don’t go well together.
Keeping your cash at home might be a little drastic, but defensive measures for drastic actions is essential. If you wager to profit, then don’t drink and gamble. If you like to be wasteful with your $$$$ without a worry, then consume all the gratuitous alcohol you are able to handle, but don’t pack charge cards and chequebooks to throw into the mix of going after losses after your hooched up brain throws away all the cash!
Allow me to carry this 1 step further. Don’t drink and then head on the web to gamble in your favorite casino either. I enjoy a cocktail from the comfort of my home, but since I am hooked up through Neteller, Firepay and have plastic credit in close proximity, I can’t drink and bet.
Why? Although I don’t drink alcohol to excess, when I consume alcohol, it is certainly adequate to befuddle my judgment. I bet, so I do not drink alcohol when wagering. If you are more of a drinker, don’t gamble when you do. Both make for a decimating, and expensive, cocktail.
