Don’t Have an Alcoholic Beverage … Play!
If you enjoy having a a beer ever so often, keep your money at home if you set out to do your drinking in a casino. I’m serious. Clean out your pocketbook, your billfold, and keep all money, charge cards and cheques at home. Grab only the cash you anticipate to use on alcohol, tipping and only the pocket change you anticipate to lose and keep the rest behind.
Cynical? Not at all. Realistic more like. You might experience a success after a drunken night out with your friends and be blessed enough to hook a 25 minute toss at a smokin craps game. Hang on to that account because it is as short-lived as it gets if you continuously consume alcohol and wager. The two just don’t mix.
Leaving your moola out of the casino is a bit dramatic, but defensive measures for drastic actions is compulsory. If you bet to profit, then don’t drink and gamble. If you are able to afford to be wasteful with your money nary a worry, then consume all the gratuitous booze your stomach are able to handle, but do not take credit cards and checks to toss into the mix of chasing losses after your befuddled head throws away all the cash!
Permit me to take this one step more. do not drink and then hop on to the internet to gamble in your best-liked internet casino either. I enjoy a drink from the coziness of my house, but seeing that I’m hooked up through Neteller, Firepay and keep plastic credit at my fingertips, I can not consume alcohol and wager.
How come? Even though I do not drink alcohol a lot, when I consume alcohol, it is certainly sufficient to blur my better judgment. I gamble, so I do not drink alcohol when betting. If you are more of a drinker, do not gamble when you do. When mixed, both create a dangerous, and costly, cocktail.
