If you enjoy a cocktail every now and then, keep your cash at home if you set out to do your consuming in a casino. I am serious. Clean out your pocketbook, your wallet, and leave all money, credit cards and checkbooks back at the hotel. Take whatever money you intend to use on refreshments, tips and only the pocket change you intend to lose and leave the rest behind.
Pessimistic? Absolutely not. Realistic more like. You could have a success after a boozy evening out with your compatriots and be blessed enough to catch a 25 minute roll at a hot craps game. Don’t forget that account because it’s as short-lived as it gets if you continually drink and bet. The two simply don’t go well together.
Keeping your moola out of the casino is a bit excessive, but defensive actions for excessive actions is compulsory. If you play to profit, then don’t drink alcohol and gamble. If you like to throw aside your cash without a concern, then drink all the gratuitous booze your stomach are able to handle, but do not take charge cards and chequebooks to toss into the mix of going after losses after your befuddled head throws away every little thing!
Permit me to carry this a single step more. Don’t consume alcohol and then go online to bet in your preferred casino either. I enjoy a drink from the comfort of my apartment, however because I am hooked up through Neteller, Firepay and have plastic credit at my fingertips, I can’t drink and gamble.
Why? Although I do not drink alcohol to excess, when I drink alcohol, it’s clearly adequate to befuddle my judgment. I bet, so I don’t consume alcohol when gambling. If you are a drinker, don’t gamble when you do. When mixed, both create a ferocious, and expensive, drink.
