If you enjoy a beer every once in a while, leave your cash at home if you plan to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Empty your pocketbook, your billfold, and keep all cash, credit cards and checks back at the hotel. Grab whatever money you expect to use on beverages, tipping and whatever pocket change you expect to lose and leave the rest behind.

Cynical? Not at all. Realistic more like. You could have a success following a intoxicated night out with your buddies and be blessed enough to hook a marathon roll at a hot craps table. Hang on to that account because it is as short-lived as it gets if you always drink and wager. The two just don’t go well together.

Keeping your cash back at the hotel might be a little dramatic, but defensive measures for dramatic actions is essential. If you gamble to succeed, then don’t drink alcohol and gamble. If you are able to afford to blow your money nary a worry, then drink all the no charge booze your stomach can handle, but do not pack plastic credit and cheques to throw into the mix of chasing losses after your drunken brain squanders everything!

Permit me to take this 1 step more. Don’t drink and then head on the net to bet in your favorite internet casino either. I love to beverage from the comfort of my house, but since I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have plastic credit in close proximity, I can not drink alcohol and bet.

What’s the reason? Despite the fact that I do not drink alcohol to excess, once I drink, it is absolutely sufficient to cloud my common sense. I wager, so I do not consume alcohol when betting. If you are more of a drinker, do not bet at the same time. Both make for a decimating, and crazy, cocktail.
