If you like to have a cocktail every once in a while, leave your money at home if you plan to do your consuming in a casino. I am serious. Clean out your pocketbook, your billfold, and keep all cash, charge cards and checks back at the hotel. Pack whatever money you expect to spend on alcohol, tipping and whatever pocket change you expect to lose and leave the remainder behind.
Contemptuous? Absolutely not. Realistic more like. You could experience a profit after a drunken evening out with your acquaintances and be lucky enough to hook a long toss at a on fire craps table. Hang on to that story because it is as short-lived as it gets if you continuously drink and gamble. The pair simply don’t mix.
Keeping your moolah back at the hotel might be a bit excessive, but defensive measures for excessive behavior is a requirement. If you play to win, then do not drink and gamble. If you can afford to burn your $$$$ nary a concern, then drink all the free alcohol you are able to handle, but don’t pack credit cards and cheques to throw into the mix of going after losses after your dead drunk self squanders every little thing!
Allow me to carry this one step more. do not drink and then go on to the internet to play in your preferred casino either. I enjoy a drink from the comfort of my house, but because I am hooked up through Neteller, Firepay and keep charge cards in close proximity, I can not drink alcohol and gamble.
Why? Despite the fact that I do not drink a lot, when I consume alcohol, it’s clearly adequate to cloud my better judgment. I bet, so I don’t drink alcohol when gambling. If you are a drinker, don’t gamble when you do. The two mix up for an awful, and costly, drink.
