Don’t Have an Alcoholic Beverage … Play!
If you enjoy a beverage every now and then, leave your money at home if you set out to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Empty your evening bag, your money belt, and leave all money, credit cards and cheques at home. Pack only the cash you anticipate to use on alcohol, tipping and only the pocket change you intend to throw away and keep the remainder behind.
Cynical? Not really. Realistic more like. You may well experience a profit after a boozy night out with your comrades and be lucky sufficiently to hook a 25 minute roll at a smokin craps table. Hang on to that story because it is as brief as it gets if you consistently consume alcohol and gamble. These activities simply do not mix.
Leaving your money back at the hotel is a little bit drastic, but precautionary actions for excessive behavior is essential. If you wager to win, then don’t drink alcohol and bet. If you like to blow your money nary a worry, then consume all the complimentary beer your stomach can handle, but don’t carry charge cards and cheques to throw into the mix of following losses after your bombed brain squanders all the cash!
Allow me to take this a single step further. Don’t consume alcohol and then hop on the web to play in your preferred casino either. I love to cocktail from the comfort of my abode, but seeing that I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have plastic credit in close proximity, I can’t drink and bet.
Why? Even though I do not drink to excess, when I drink alcohol, it’s absolutely enough to befuddle my judgment. I wager, so I don’t drink alcohol when betting. If you are a drinker, don’t gamble at the same time. The two mix up for a decimating, and crazy, cocktail.
