If you enjoy having a a cocktail every once in a while, keep your money at home if you plan to do your consuming in a casino. I’m serious. Clean out your evening bag, your wallet, and keep all cash, plastic credit and cheques back at the hotel. Only take only the money you expect to spend on alcohol, tipping and only the pocket change you anticipate to burn and leave the remainder behind.
Contemptuous? Not at all. Just realistic. You could experience a win following a drunken night out with your acquaintances and be lucky enough to catch a 25 minute roll at a smokin craps table. Keep that story because it is as short-lived as it gets if you always drink and bet. The pair simply do not go well together.
Leaving your money at home might be a little dramatic, but preventative measures for drastic behavior is a requirement. If you play to succeed, then don’t drink and bet. If you like to be wasteful with your $$$$ without a concern, then consume all the gratuitous alcohol your stomach can handle, but don’t take charge cards and chequebooks to toss into the mix of going after squanderings after your drunken self loses all the cash!
Permit me to carry this one step more. Don’t consume alcohol and then head online to bet in your preferred casino either. I love to beverage from the coziness of my home, however since I am linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have charge cards near by, I can not drink alcohol and gamble.
Why? Although I do not consume alcohol a lot, when I consume alcohol, it’s clearly adequate to blur my better judgment. I gamble, so I don’t drink alcohol when gambling. If you are a drinker, do not bet when you do. Both make for a decimating, and costly, cocktail.
