Rule 7: Don't bet under the influence

There's a very good reason why the casino's in Vegas are happy to give you free drinks, and its not because they are trying to give you a warm, hospitable welcome. Pissed players are more likely to chase losses, make bad selections and place bets they wouldn't normally do sober.

I have removed the biggest obstacle for me breaking this rule, by ensuring that all funds are ring fenced in a separate account, and more crucially, banning myself from placing any bets on the net.

I'm also trying to post all my bets on the blog the day before, therefore placing a significant time delay between making the decision to bet, and actually placing the bet at the bookies.
