If you enjoy having a a drink ever so often, leave your cash at home if you set out to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Leave your evening bag, your money belt, and keep all cash, plastic credit and cheques out of the casino. Pack whatever cash you expect to spend on beverages, tipping and whatever pocket change you anticipate to squander and leave the remainder behind.

Pessimistic? Not really. Just realistic. You can experience a profit after a inebriated evening out with your friends and be blessed sufficiently to hook a 25 minute toss at a hot craps table. Keep that account because it is as short-lived as it gets if you regularly drink alcohol and bet. The two simply don’t mix.

Leaving your money out of the casino might be a little excessive, but precautionary actions for excessive actions is a requirement. If you wager to win, then don’t drink alcohol and bet. If you like to throw away your $$$$ nary a concern, then drink all the gratuitous alcohol your stomach can handle, but do not carry credit cards and chequebooks to throw into the mix of going after losses after your dead drunk brain throws away everything!

Let me to take this one step further. Don’t drink alcohol and then head on the web to gamble in your favorite internet casino either. I enjoy a beverage from the coziness of my condo, but since I’m connected through Neteller, Firepay and have credit cards at my fingertips, I can not drink and gamble.

How come? Even though I don’t drink alcohol a lot, when I drink, it’s clearly enough to befuddle my common sense. I wager, so I don’t drink when gambling. If you are a drinker, do not bet at the same time. Both make for a ferocious, and costly, cocktail.
