If you like to have a drink every now and then, leave your money at home if you are going to do your consuming in a casino. I am serious. Empty your handbag, your billfold, and leave all money, plastic credit and checks at home. Pack only the cash you expect to spend on alcohol, tipping and whatever pocket change you intend to lose and leave the rest behind.

Contemptuous? Not by any means. Just realistic. You could experience a profit following a boozy evening out with your comrades and be lucky sufficiently to hit a 25 minute roll at a hot craps table. Don’t forget that account considering that it’s as brief as it gets if you always drink alcohol and gamble. The pair just don’t mix.

Keeping your money back at the hotel might be a little bit excessive, but defensive measures for dramatic behavior is required. If you bet to win, then don’t drink alcohol and gamble. If you like to throw aside your cash nary a concern, then consume all the free beer you are able to handle, but don’t carry credit cards and cheques to throw into the mix of going after losses after your drunken brain squanders all the cash!

Permit me to take this one step further. Don’t drink and then jump on the internet to gamble in your best-liked casino either. I love to cocktail from the comfort of my home, however seeing that I am linked up through Neteller, Firepay and keep plastic credit in close proximity, I can’t drink and bet.

What’s the reason? Although I do not drink alcohol to excess, when I drink, it is clearly sufficient to blur my common sense. I wager, so I don’t drink alcohol when gambling. If you are more of a drinker, don’t wager when you do. Both make for a dangerous, and crazy, cocktail.
