If you like to indulge in a beer every now and then, leave your cash at home if you plan to do your consuming in a casino. I am serious. Empty your pocketbook, your money belt, and keep all money, credit cards and chequebooks at home. Take just the money you intend to use on beverages, tips and whatever loose change you intend to lose and leave the rest behind.
Contemptuous? Not really. Realistic more like. You may well discover a success after a boozy evening out with your buddies and be fortunate enough to catch a marathon roll at a smokin craps table. Hang on to that story because it’s as short-lived as it gets if you constantly drink and bet. The 2 simply don’t mix.
Keeping your money at home is a little excessive, however, defensive measures for dramatic behavior is proportionate and required. If you wager to succeed, then do not consume alcohol and bet. If you can manage to throw away your cash without a worry, then consume all the no cost booze your stomach can handle, but don’t take credit cards and chequebooks to toss into the mix of chasing losses once your drunken brain loses everything!
