Do Not Drink … Play!
If you enjoy having a a drink from time to time, leave your cash at home if you plan to do your drinking in a casino. I’m serious. Empty your evening bag, your money belt, and leave all cash, credit cards and cheques out of the casino. Grab only the money you anticipate to use on refreshments, tipping and few dollars you anticipate to lose and keep the rest behind.
Contemptuous? Absolutely not. Realistic more like. You could have a success after a intoxicated evening out with your compatriots and be blessed enough to hit a 25 minute roll at a hot craps table. Don’t forget that adventure because it’s as short-lived as it gets if you regularly drink and bet. The two just don’t go well together.
Leaving your moola at home might be a bit drastic, but defensive actions for drastic actions is a requirement. If you play to win, then do not drink and bet. If you are able to afford to blow your assets without a concern, then drink all the complimentary booze your stomach are able to handle, but do not pack charge cards and checkbooks to throw into the mix of following losses after your drunken brain loses all the cash!
Allow me to carry this 1 step further. Don’t drink alcohol and then hop on to the internet to gamble in your favorite online casino either. I love to beer from the comfort of my home, however because I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and keep credit cards at my fingertips, I can’t consume alcohol and gamble.
Why? Although I don’t drink alcohol to excess, once I consume alcohol, it’s absolutely enough to cloud my better judgment. I gamble, so I don’t drink alcohol when betting. If you are more of a drinker, don’t gamble at the same time. Both make for a decimating, and costly, cocktail.
