If you like to have a cocktail ever so often, leave your cash out of the casino if you are going to do your consuming in a casino. I’m serious. Clean out your pocketbook, your wallet, and leave all money, charge cards and checkbooks back at the hotel. Grab whatever money you intend to use on refreshments, tips and only the pocket change you expect to lose and keep the rest behind.

Pessimistic? Absolutely not. Realistic more like. You can experience a win after a drunken evening out with your comrades and be blessed sufficiently to hook a 25 minute roll at a smokin craps table. Hang on to that account seeing that it’s as short-lived as it gets if you regularly drink and wager. These activities simply don’t go well together.

Leaving your moolah out of the casino might be a little drastic, but precautionary measures for drastic behavior is necessary. If you play to profit, then do not drink alcohol and play. If you like to be wasteful with your money nary a worry, then drink all the no charge beer you are able to handle, but do not carry charge cards and cheques to toss into the mix of following losses after your drunken self throws away every little thing!

Let me to carry this one step more. Don’t consume alcohol and then jump on to the internet to wager in your preferred internet casino either. I love to cocktail from the comfort of my domicile, however seeing that I am connected through Neteller, Firepay and keep credit cards in close proximity, I can not consume alcohol and gamble.

What’s the reason? Even though I don’t drink to excess, when I drink, it’s certainly enough to befuddle my better judgment. I wager, so I do not consume alcohol when gambling. If you are more of a drinker, do not gamble when you do. Both make for an awful, and costly, drink.
