Don’t Drink … Play!

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

If you like to have a beverage ever so often, leave your cash at home if you set out to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Empty your evening bag, your wallet, and keep all money, charge cards and cheques at home. Pack whatever money you anticipate to spend on alcohol, tips and only the pocket change you anticipate to burn and leave the remainder behind.

Contemptuous? Not really. Just realistic. You may well have a win after a boozy night out with your acquaintances and be blessed enough to hook a long toss at a smokin craps game. Keep that story because it’s as brief as it gets if you continuously consume alcohol and gamble. The two simply do not go well together.

Leaving your moolah out of the casino might be a bit excessive, but precautionary actions for dramatic actions is necessary. If you gamble to profit, then don’t consume alcohol and gamble. If you can afford to be wasteful with your money nary a worry, then drink all the gratuitous beer your stomach are able to handle, but do not pack credit cards and chequebooks to toss into the mix of chasing losses after your bombed self squanders everything!

Allow me to carry this a single step further. do not drink and then head on the web to gamble in your favorite online casino either. I enjoy a cocktail from the comfort of my abode, but seeing that I’m connected through Neteller, Firepay and have plastic credit near by, I can’t drink and wager.

How come? Even though I do not consume alcohol a lot, when I drink alcohol, it’s certainly enough to befuddle my judgment. I wager, so I don’t drink when betting. If you are more of a drinker, don’t gamble at the same time. Both make for a ferocious, and crazy, drink.
