If you like to indulge in a beer every so often, keep your cash at home if you intend to do your consuming in a brick and mortar casino. I am serious. Empty your billfold, your money belt, and keep all cash, credit cards and chequebooks at home. Take just the cash you intend to use on drinks, tips and whatever pocket coins you plan on loosing and leave the rest behind.
Pessimistic? Not at all. Realistic more like. You may well experience a success after a boozy evening out with your friends and be lucky enough to catch a marathon roll at a smokin’ craps table. Hang on to that account because it’s as short-lived as it gets if you constantly drink and wager. The 2 just don’t mix.
Leaving your cash at home is a bit excessive, however preventative measures for drastic actions is proportionate and required. If you compete to succeed, then do not consume alcohol and wager. If you can manage to throw away your cash without a second thought, then drink all the free booze your gut can hold, but don’t take debit cards and cheques to toss into the mix of going after losses after your inebriated brain squanders all the cash!
