If you enjoy a drink from time to time, keep your cash at home if you are going to do your drinking in a casino. I’m serious. Leave your pocketbook, your billfold, and keep all cash, plastic credit and cheques out of the casino. Grab only the cash you intend to use on beverages, tipping and whatever pocket change you intend to squander and leave the remainder behind.

Pessimistic? Absolutely not. Just realistic. You could have a profit after a boozy night out with your friends and be lucky sufficiently to hook a marathon roll at a hot craps game. Keep that adventure because it’s as short-lived as it gets if you always consume alcohol and wager. These activities just do not go well together.

Leaving your money back at the hotel might be a bit drastic, but defensive measures for dramatic actions is compulsory. If you bet to win, then don’t drink and gamble. If you can afford to be wasteful with your assets without a concern, then drink all the gratuitous alcohol you can handle, but don’t carry plastic credit and cheques to throw into the mix of going after losses after your inebriated head loses all the cash!

Allow me to carry this a single step more. Don’t drink and then go on to the internet to wager in your best-liked casino either. I love to beer from the coziness of my condo, however seeing that I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have charge cards in close proximity, I can not drink alcohol and wager.

How come? Even though I don’t consume alcohol a lot, when I drink alcohol, it is certainly adequate to cloud my judgment. I wager, so I don’t drink when betting. If you are a drinker, don’t wager when you do. Both create a ferocious, and costly, cocktail.
