If you enjoy having a a cocktail every so often, keep your money at home if you are going to do your drinking in a casino. I’m serious. Leave your handbag, your billfold, and keep all cash, plastic credit and checks back at the hotel. Only take only the cash you expect to spend on alcohol, tipping and only the pocket change you intend to burn and leave the remainder behind.
Cynical? Not really. Just realistic. You might have a profit following a intoxicated night out with your friends and be blessed sufficiently to hook a long roll at a on fire craps game. Hang on to that adventure because it’s as short-lived as it gets if you consistently drink and bet. The pair just do not go well together.
Keeping your money at home is a little dramatic, but precautionary actions for dramatic behavior is a requirement. If you play to succeed, then do not consume alcohol and bet. If you like to blow your $$$$ without a concern, then consume all the gratuitous booze you can handle, but do not carry credit cards and checks to throw into the mix of following squanderings after your inebriated brain loses everything!
Permit me to carry this 1 step further. Don’t consume alcohol and then head on the net to play in your preferred online casino either. I enjoy a beer from the coziness of my domicile, however because I’m connected through Neteller, Firepay and keep credit cards at my fingertips, I can’t drink alcohol and gamble.
Why? Even though I don’t drink alcohol to excess, once I drink, it’s certainly adequate to befuddle my judgment. I wager, so I don’t consume alcohol when betting. If you are more of a drinker, don’t gamble when you do. When mixed, both create a decimating, and costly, cocktail.
