Do Not Drink … Play!
If you like to have a beer occasionally, keep your money out of the casino if you set out to do your consuming in a casino. I am serious. Empty your purse, your billfold, and leave all cash, plastic credit and checkbooks out of the casino. Grab only the cash you intend to spend on refreshments, tips and whatever pocket change you anticipate to burn and leave the rest behind.
Cynical? Not by any means. Realistic more like. You can have a win after a inebriated night out with your acquaintances and be blessed sufficiently to hook a long toss at a hot craps game. Hang on to that story considering that it’s as short-lived as it gets if you continually drink and wager. The two just don’t mix.
Leaving your moolah out of the casino might be a little drastic, but defensive measures for excessive behavior is compulsory. If you gamble to win, then don’t drink and play. If you like to throw away your money nary a worry, then drink all the no charge alcohol you are able to handle, but don’t take plastic credit and checkbooks to toss into the mix of chasing losses after your drunk as a skunk self throws away everything!
Permit me to take this 1 step more. Don’t drink and then hop online to gamble in your favorite online casino either. I enjoy a beer from the comfort of my house, however seeing that I am linked up through Neteller, Firepay and keep plastic credit in close proximity, I can’t drink and gamble.
Why? Even though I do not drink to excess, when I consume alcohol, it is absolutely enough to blur my better judgment. I bet, so I do not drink when gambling. If you are more of a drinker, do not bet when you do. When mixed, both create a decimating, and expensive, cocktail.
