If you like to have a beverage every now and then, keep your cash at home if you are going to do your consuming in a casino. I’m serious. Empty your evening bag, your money belt, and keep all cash, credit cards and checkbooks out of the casino. Pack only the cash you anticipate to use on refreshments, tips and only the pocket change you anticipate to burn and leave the rest behind.

Cynical? Not really. Realistic more like. You may well experience a profit following a drunken night out with your acquaintances and be blessed enough to hook a marathon toss at a hot craps game. Hang on to that story considering that it’s as short-lived as it gets if you always drink and gamble. The two simply do not mix.

Leaving your moola out of the casino is a bit dramatic, but defensive measures for drastic actions is a requirement. If you gamble to succeed, then do not consume alcohol and play. If you are able to afford to blow your $$$$ nary a concern, then consume all the complimentary beer you are able to handle, but don’t pack credit cards and chequebooks to throw into the mix of chasing losses after your hooched up self squanders everything!

Permit me to carry this one step more. Don’t consume alcohol and then hop on to the internet to play in your favorite casino either. I enjoy a drink from the comfort of my condo, however considering that I’m connected through Neteller, Firepay and have plastic credit in close proximity, I can not drink alcohol and gamble.

What’s the reason? Even though I don’t drink a lot, when I drink alcohol, it’s certainly sufficient to befuddle my judgment. I wager, so I don’t consume alcohol when gambling. If you are a drinker, do not gamble when you do. When mixed, both create an awful, and expensive, drink.
