If you like to have a cocktail every so often, keep your cash out of the casino if you set out to do your drinking in a casino. I’m serious. Empty your pocketbook, your billfold, and leave all cash, credit cards and chequebooks back at the hotel. Take whatever money you expect to use on drinks, tipping and only the pocket change you intend to throw away and leave the rest behind.
Pessimistic? Not by any means. Just realistic. You can experience a success after a intoxicated evening out with your comrades and be blessed sufficiently to catch a long roll at a smokin craps game. Hang on to that story because it is as brief as it gets if you consistently drink alcohol and bet. The pair just don’t mix.
Keeping your moola out of the casino is a little bit excessive, but precautionary measures for excessive behavior is necessary. If you play to succeed, then don’t drink and gamble. If you can afford to be wasteful with your money without a worry, then drink all the gratuitous alcohol you can handle, but don’t carry plastic credit and checks to toss into the mix of following squanderings after your drunk as a skunk head squanders every little thing!
Permit me to take this one step further. Don’t drink and then hop on to the internet to wager in your preferred internet casino either. I enjoy a beer from the coziness of my condo, however because I am linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have credit cards in close proximity, I can’t drink and gamble.
What’s the reason? Even though I don’t drink to excess, when I consume alcohol, it is certainly adequate to befuddle my better judgment. I wager, so I don’t drink when wagering. If you are a drinker, don’t wager at the same time. Both make for a ferocious, and expensive, cocktail.
