If you enjoy a cocktail from time to time, keep your money at home if you set out to do your consuming in a casino. I’m serious. Empty your evening bag, your wallet, and leave all money, credit cards and cheques at home. Grab only the money you intend to use on drinks, tipping and whatever pocket change you expect to squander and leave the rest behind.
Pessimistic? Not really. Just realistic. You might have a win after a drunken night out with your buddies and be lucky enough to hit a long roll at a smokin craps table. Keep that adventure considering that it’s as brief as it gets if you consistently drink alcohol and wager. The pair just do not go well together.
Keeping your moolah out of the casino is a bit excessive, but defensive actions for dramatic behavior is a requirement. If you bet to succeed, then don’t consume alcohol and bet. If you are able to afford to blow your assets nary a concern, then consume all the gratuitous alcohol your stomach can handle, but do not pack credit cards and checkbooks to throw into the mix of going after squanderings after your befuddled head throws away every little thing!
Allow me to carry this a single step more. Don’t consume alcohol and then jump on the net to wager in your preferred casino either. I enjoy a drink from the comfort of my condominium, but considering that I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have plastic credit near by, I can’t drink and wager.
Why? Even though I don’t drink alcohol to excess, when I drink, it’s absolutely sufficient to cloud my judgment. I bet, so I do not drink alcohol when gambling. If you are a drinker, don’t gamble when you do. Both make for a dangerous, and expensive, cocktail.
