If you enjoy a cocktail occasionally, keep your cash at home if you set out to do your consuming in a casino. I am serious. Empty your handbag, your money belt, and leave all money, plastic credit and checkbooks out of the casino. Pack only the cash you anticipate to use on drinks, tipping and whatever pocket change you intend to lose and leave the rest behind.
Cynical? Not by any means. Just realistic. You can experience a success after a drunken evening out with your compatriots and be blessed enough to hook a 25 minute roll at a smokin craps table. Keep that account because it is as brief as it gets if you consistently drink alcohol and wager. These activities just do not mix.
Keeping your moolah out of the casino might be a little bit drastic, but defensive actions for drastic actions is necessary. If you bet to win, then do not consume alcohol and bet. If you are able to afford to toss aside your money without a concern, then consume all the gratis beer you are able to handle, but do not carry plastic credit and checkbooks to toss into the mix of following squanderings after your bombed brain loses all the cash!
Let me to carry this a single step further. Don’t consume alcohol and then go on the internet to play in your preferred casino either. I enjoy a beer from the comfort of my condominium, however since I am linked up through Neteller, Firepay and keep plastic credit at my fingertips, I can’t consume alcohol and wager.
What’s the reason? Even though I do not consume alcohol to excess, when I consume alcohol, it’s definitely enough to befuddle my common sense. I gamble, so I don’t drink alcohol when betting. If you are a drinker, do not wager at the same time. When mixed, both create an awful, and expensive, cocktail.
