Do Not Drink … Gamble!
If you like to have a cocktail every so often, leave your money at home if you are going to do your drinking in a casino. I’m serious. Leave your pocketbook, your billfold, and leave all cash, plastic credit and chequebooks out of the casino. Grab only the cash you intend to spend on refreshments, tips and whatever pocket change you anticipate to throw away and leave the remainder behind.
Cynical? Not at all. Realistic more like. You can have a win following a drunken night out with your comrades and be lucky enough to catch a 25 minute toss at a smokin craps table. Keep that account because it’s as brief as it gets if you continuously drink and bet. The two simply do not go well together.
Leaving your moolah at home is a bit excessive, but defensive measures for drastic actions is necessary. If you wager to win, then don’t drink and bet. If you like to blow your cash nary a concern, then consume all the gratuitous beer you can handle, but do not carry plastic credit and checks to toss into the mix of following losses after your bombed head loses all the cash!
Allow me to carry this a single step further. Don’t drink alcohol and then head on the internet to gamble in your preferred internet casino either. I love to beverage from the comfort of my house, however because I am connected through Neteller, Firepay and keep charge cards at my fingertips, I can’t drink and wager.
How come? Although I don’t consume alcohol to excess, when I consume alcohol, it’s absolutely adequate to blur my judgment. I gamble, so I do not drink when gambling. If you are a drinker, don’t gamble when you do. Both make for an awful, and expensive, drink.
