If you enjoy a cocktail from time to time, leave your money at home if you are going to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Clean out your purse, your wallet, and keep all cash, plastic credit and checks at home. Only take whatever money you intend to use on drinks, tips and whatever pocket change you anticipate to lose and keep the remainder behind.

Cynical? Not really. Just realistic. You can have a success after a boozy night out with your comrades and be lucky sufficiently to hook a 25 minute roll at a smokin craps table. Don’t forget that adventure seeing that it’s as brief as it gets if you continually consume alcohol and bet. The pair simply don’t go well together.

Leaving your money back at the hotel is a bit dramatic, but preventative measures for dramatic behavior is a requirement. If you play to win, then do not drink alcohol and gamble. If you are able to afford to be wasteful with your $$$$ nary a concern, then consume all the gratis beer you can handle, but don’t carry plastic credit and chequebooks to toss into the mix of chasing squanderings after your dead drunk head squanders all the cash!

Let me to take this a single step further. Don’t drink and then go on the web to bet in your favorite casino either. I love to cocktail from the coziness of my house, but because I am hooked up through Neteller, Firepay and have credit cards at my fingertips, I can not drink alcohol and wager.

Why? Although I don’t drink a lot, once I consume alcohol, it’s clearly enough to cloud my better judgment. I wager, so I do not drink alcohol when gambling. If you are a drinker, do not bet at the same time. The two mix up for an awful, and crazy, cocktail.
