Don’t Drink … Play!
If you like to have a beverage every once in a while, keep your money at home if you are going to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Empty your evening bag, your billfold, and leave all money, credit cards and checks out of the casino. Grab only the money you intend to use on drinks, tipping and whatever pocket change you expect to burn and keep the rest behind.
Pessimistic? Not really. Realistic more like. You could have a win after a drunken evening out with your comrades and be blessed enough to hit a 25 minute roll at a hot craps game. Hang on to that account because it’s as short-lived as it gets if you continuously consume alcohol and gamble. The two simply don’t go well together.
Leaving your money at home is a little bit dramatic, but defensive measures for excessive actions is compulsory. If you wager to win, then don’t consume alcohol and gamble. If you like to toss away your money without a worry, then drink all the gratis booze your stomach can handle, but don’t carry credit cards and cheques to throw into the mix of following squanderings after your drunk as a skunk head throws away all the cash!
Let me to carry this a single step further. Don’t drink alcohol and then go online to wager in your favorite casino either. I love to drink from the coziness of my apartment, but since I’m hooked up through Neteller, Firepay and have credit cards near by, I can not consume alcohol and gamble.
What’s the reason? Although I do not drink a lot, when I drink alcohol, it’s clearly adequate to cloud my better judgment. I gamble, so I don’t consume alcohol when gambling. If you are a drinker, don’t gamble at the same time. When mixed, both create a ferocious, and expensive, drink.
