Don’t Drink … Gamble!
If you like to have a cocktail every now and then, keep your cash at home if you plan to do your drinking in a casino. I’m serious. Leave your purse, your money belt, and leave all money, credit cards and chequebooks out of the casino. Pack whatever cash you intend to spend on drinks, tipping and whatever pocket change you anticipate to lose and leave the rest behind.
Cynical? Not by any means. Just realistic. You could have a win after a boozy evening out with your compatriots and be lucky enough to hook a long roll at a hot craps table. Hang on to that account considering that it’s as short-lived as it gets if you consistently drink alcohol and wager. These activities simply do not mix.
Leaving your moola back at the hotel is a tiny bit dramatic, but preventative actions for drastic actions is a requirement. If you bet to win, then do not drink alcohol and gamble. If you are able to afford to toss aside your money without a worry, then consume all the no charge beer you can handle, but don’t pack plastic credit and chequebooks to throw into the mix of going after squanderings after your hooched up self loses everything!
Let me to carry this a single step further. Don’t consume alcohol and then hop online to wager in your preferred online casino either. I love to beer from the comfort of my home, but because I am linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have credit cards in close proximity, I can’t drink and wager.
Why? Despite the fact that I don’t consume alcohol to excess, once I drink, it’s absolutely sufficient to blur my better judgment. I bet, so I don’t consume alcohol when wagering. If you are a drinker, do not gamble when you do. Both create a decimating, and costly, cocktail.
