If you enjoy a cocktail every once in a while, 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 keep all money, credit cards and checks back at the hotel. Only take whatever money you intend to spend on refreshments, tipping and whatever pocket change you anticipate to lose and leave the remainder behind.
Pessimistic? Absolutely not. Just realistic. You might have a win following a inebriated evening out with your acquaintances and be blessed enough to hit a marathon roll at a on fire craps game. Keep that story because it’s as brief as it gets if you continually consume alcohol and wager. The pair just don’t mix.
Keeping your cash at home might be a tiny bit excessive, but defensive measures for dramatic behavior is compulsory. If you gamble to profit, then don’t consume alcohol and bet. If you like to be wasteful with your cash without a worry, then consume all the free booze you can handle, but don’t pack plastic credit and checks to toss into the mix of chasing losses after your drunk as a skunk self throws away everything!
Allow me to carry this one step more. Don’t drink alcohol and then hop on the internet to gamble in your favorite casino either. I enjoy a cocktail from the comfort of my home, but due to the fact that I am connected through Neteller, Firepay and keep credit cards in close proximity, I can’t drink and wager.
Why? Even though I don’t drink a lot, when I consume alcohol, it’s certainly sufficient to befuddle my judgment. I wager, so I do not drink when wagering. If you are more of a drinker, do not bet when you do. Both make for a ferocious, and costly, drink.
