If you like to indulge in a beer every now and then, keep your cash at home if you plan to do your drinking in a brick and mortar casino. I’m serious. clean out your billfold, your wallet, and keep all cash, debit cards and cheques at home. Take just the cash you intend to use on alcohol, tips and whatever loose change you intend to lose and leave the rest behind.
Cynical? Not at all. Realistic really. You might well experience a win after a boozy evening out with your friends and be fortunate enough to catch a marathon roll at a hot craps table. Hold on to that account because it’s as brief as it gets if you continually drink and wager. The two just don’t mix.
Keeping your cash at home is a little excessive, however precautionary actions for dramatic behavior is proportionate and required. If you compete to win, then do not drink and wager. If you can afford to toss away your cash without a second thought, then consume all the free alcohol your stomach can handle, but don’t take bank cards and checks to throw into the mix of chasing losses after your drunken brain throws away everything!
