Do Not Have an Alcoholic Beverage … Play!
If you like to have a cocktail every once in a while, keep your cash out of the casino if you are going to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Empty your handbag, your money belt, and leave all money, plastic credit and chequebooks out of the casino. Take whatever cash you intend to use on drinks, tips and few dollars you anticipate to burn and leave the remainder behind.
Contemptuous? Not really. Just realistic. You may well have a win following a intoxicated evening out with your buddies and be blessed enough to hit a 25 minute toss at a smokin craps table. Keep that story considering that it’s as short-lived as it gets if you continuously consume alcohol and gamble. The pair simply don’t go well together.
Leaving your moola back at the hotel is a tiny bit drastic, but precautionary measures for drastic behavior is a requirement. If you gamble to win, then do not consume alcohol and play. If you like to be wasteful with your $$$$ nary a concern, then consume all the gratuitous booze your stomach are able to handle, but do not take plastic credit and chequebooks to toss into the mix of following losses after your drunken head throws away all the cash!
Allow me to carry this one step further. Don’t drink alcohol and then head on the web to bet in your favorite online casino either. I love to beer from the coziness of my home, however seeing that I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have charge cards at my fingertips, I can’t consume alcohol and wager.
What’s the reason? Although I don’t drink alcohol to excess, when I consume alcohol, it is definitely sufficient to blur my better judgment. I wager, so I don’t consume alcohol when wagering. If you are a drinker, do not bet at the same time. Both make for a decimating, and costly, cocktail.
