- It gets easy to make mistakes: When a person has been drinking and becomes tipsy or drunk, they tend to make mistakes that they wouldn’t normally. A person who is placing a bet may accidentally put the money on the wrong team or wager an amount of money that they won’t be pleased with once they sober up. It is just so easy to make mistakes that can cost persons a ton of money. Even little mistakes made while sports betting can burn a hole in ones pocket. As stated above, the entire process of placing a bet only takes a little while. Waiting to drink until after placing that bet is the right thing to do. It is also the smart thing.
- Individuals tend to take chances: Most everyone has heard the term “liquid courage.” It’s when an individual acts in ways that they wouldn’t normally if they hadn’t been drinking. A person who is placing a sport’s bet while drunk (or drinking) may take unwise chances and makes choices that they wouldn’t if they were sober. This can be disastrous. A person can end up losing a lot of money.
- Individuals tend to get lazy: When a person has been drinking, it gets really easy to get lazy. Instead of shopping around for the best odds, a person may settle for the first sportsbook they come across. This is obviously a huge mistake and can potentially hurt the bettor in one of two ways. They might end up losing a ton of money or fail to win as much money as they would have if they had shopped around for the best available odds.
