It’s every gambler’s dream – being able to walk into a casino and lose money just because you feel like it. Unfortunately, odds are you aren’t going to get to enjoy that luxury too soon. A lot of the time, casinos will try to avoid having sick customers run up a huge gambling debt. So they’ll do everything they can to make sure you don’t play if you’re not feeling well.
Fortunately, there are ways you can use to your advantage when you do feel sick. One of the best ways is to fake it. If you know how to fake sickness for betting, you have the opportunity to really mess with the casino operators’ plans and put them in their place. Here are some of the most effective ways to fake sickness for betting:
Find Out When They’re Open
The main reason casinos try to prevent sick customers from gambling is because they know when a customer is really sick, they’re usually not going to be able to control themselves. This is why it’s important for you to find out when the casino is going to be open and when it’s going to close so you can plan your attack strategy accordingly. There are several ways to do this, but the simplest one is to just ask the front desk when the casino is going to open and when it’s going to close.
If you’re really determined to game despite your condition, you can ask the hotel doctor for help. He or she may be able to help you figure out how to control your symptoms so you can sit at a computer or mobile device without feeling sick. Getting a prescription for antibiotics would also be a good idea in case you have an infection that could be causing your sickness. Lastly, if you’ve been drinking alcohol, it could be leaving you more vulnerable to illness. So it’s important to quit alcohol and avoid taking any drugs that may affect your judgment while you’re playing.
Check-in Early
One way of trying to avoid having sick customers is by checking in early. The earlier you can check in to a hotel, the more flexibility you’ll have in checking out later. This is especially useful if you’re trying to game on specific days or during certain times when the casino is busiest. If you show up to the hotel and check in early, you’ll have more time to relax and get your mind off playing before you go to the casino. You can also use this time to read, listen to music, or just wind down.
On the other hand, if you show up to the hotel and it’s already close to check-in time, there’s not much you can do to save time. You’ll simply have to settle for checking in and wasting time until check-out.
Bring A Change Of Clothes
When you arrive at the hotel, you’ll likely be required to go through the casino’s entrance and get a ticket to get into the building. Once you’re in, it’s easy to fall into a routine and start feeling more like yourself. However, if you’ve been driving all night and have just come from the airport, that airport outfit isn’t going to cut it in Las Vegas – not even if you try to look like Harrison Ford.
In order to really convince the casino that you’re not sick, you’ll need to change into something a little more appropriate for the occasion. For men, this usually means a suit or tuxedo. For women, it can be anything from a cocktail dress to a simple floral print dress. Whatever the occasion is, you can bet they’re not going to let someone dressed like that enter their casino.
Once you change, it’s important to freshen up a little before walking into the casino. Having an important meeting or event lined up for the evening is one thing. Waking up with a stiff neck from looking at a screen all day is another. You can freshen up by taking a quick walk or using the hotel’s gym.
Don’t Eat The Free Breakfast
Eating the complimentary breakfast at a hotel is generally mandatory for the casino’s guests. Even if you normally don’t eat breakfast, you may feel like having something light to boost your energy for the day. However, if you show up at the hotel and take a look at what’s available for free, you’ll most likely decide that it’s not worth it. Most breakfasts come with an egg sandwich, sausage, bacon, or muffin, which isn’t likely to give you an extra boost of energy.
A better option would be to walk down the street to a café or restaurant and get something more substantial to eat. If you have a big day ahead, this would be a better option than risking getting sick while eating bad food at the hotel. Once you’ve eaten, you can get back to gaming and forget about the day’s events.
Use The Hotel’s Gym
Believe it or not, going to the gym at the same hotel you’re staying at can be a great way to unwind and relax. It’s a chance to get away from the crowd in a quieter environment and work out some of your frustrations. You can also use the hotel’s gym to help you get in shape for the casino’s rigorous fitness test – which we’ll get to a little later.
However, you need to be careful not to overuse the gym. The casino has the right to revoke your membership if they feel like you’re abusing the privilege. So if you go multiple times a day, make sure you’ve got something important to do afterward.
Skip The Drinks
Drinks at the bar are certainly acceptable in a hotel, but you’re best avoiding them if you feel like you might get sick. Even if you feel like you can handle booze, you may have an allergic reaction or a sensitivity to it. In those cases, having drink in the hotel room could make you sick. So it’s best to avoid that temptation altogether.
Allergies and sensitivities are no joke, especially if they’re related to alcohol. Some people actually get sick from drinking alcohol. So if you have a drink-related allergy or sensitivity, skip it. Otherwise, you may end up in the hospital. And who wants to spend their vacation in the hospital? Not us.
Take Your Medication
It’s important to take medications as directed by your doctor. Many medications have dangerous side effects if taken in excess or improperly. Antibiotics, for example, can cause damage to human tissue if taken in large amounts or if not properly regulated by the human body. The same goes for some pain medications and insulin – which some people mistakenly think is a form of relief in cases of diabetes.
If you’re taking antibiotics, make sure you follow the instructions carefully and don’t take more than what’s needed. This is especially important if you have a history of heart problems or other diseases related to poor nutrition.
Look At The Big Picture
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the minutia of everyday life and forget about the big picture. But the reality is you always need to keep the big picture in mind when playing casino games. Even when you feel like you have everything under control, you may still have bad luck and lose a lot of money. This is why it’s important to look at all the facts – not just what’s in front of you at the moment – and try to keep a positive outlook.
For example, if you know the casino is going to be busy all week and it’s likely they’ll be looking to prevent sick customers from gambling, you may want to avoid going there during those times. Or if it’s the first time you’re visiting a certain place and you don’t know much about it, it may be a good idea to do a little research online before playing. This will give you a much better understanding of what you’re getting into and allow you to put things in perspective. It’s not always going to be easy, but try your best not to let the little things get you down. Every trip to the casino will be just another opportunity to learn more and become a better player.
If you want to feel like yourself again, you may need to take some time off. It depends on how bad the sickness was. If it was just a simple cold, you may be able to get back to your normal life in a few days. However, if it was more serious, you may need to take some time off work to recover. The important thing is that you feel better and are back to your old self as soon as possible.
