If you like to have a drink every once in a while, keep your cash at home if you are going to do your consuming in a casino. I’m serious. Leave your evening bag, your money belt, and leave all cash, plastic credit and cheques at home. Pack only the money you intend to spend on drinks, tipping and whatever pocket change you expect to burn and leave the remainder behind.

Contemptuous? Absolutely not. Just realistic. You may well experience a win after a intoxicated night out with your acquaintances and be lucky enough to hook a 25 minute roll at a on fire craps game. Hang on to that account seeing that it’s as short-lived as it gets if you consistently drink alcohol and wager. The two simply don’t mix.

Leaving your cash out of the casino might be a little dramatic, but defensive measures for dramatic behavior is a requirement. If you play to succeed, then do not drink and gamble. If you can afford to blow your money nary a worry, then drink all the free alcohol your stomach are able to handle, but do not take credit cards and cheques to throw into the mix of following squanderings after your drunk as a skunk head throws away every little thing!

Allow me to carry this one step further. Don’t drink and then head on the net to wager in your favorite casino either. I enjoy a beverage from the comfort of my house, but considering that I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and have plastic credit in close proximity, I can not consume alcohol and bet.

How come? Although I do not drink to excess, once I consume alcohol, it is clearly sufficient to befuddle my better judgment. I gamble, so I do not drink when wagering. If you are more of a drinker, don’t gamble at the same time. The two mix up for a dangerous, and expensive, cocktail.
