      This is good advice. Burnout is a bad thing.

        Take a break betting can ruin your vacation if you hit a losing streak.

            That wasn't necessary.

            But yes that is precisely how burnout can be caused...

                I have placed a few wagers on a vacation before. But most of the time I do take a break.

                  I try to take a break but I always end up making a call and betting a few games.

                    depends.. my vacations are to st somewhere usually and i usually go where they don't have internet.. i remember going to the keys last year and stayiing in islamorada and at a super resort and i get to the room and call and say you have wi fi and they say no you can hook up the phone cord for dial up. i remember going to one of the small and i mean small monroe county libraries and parked outside and trying to get the signal just to bet on a game before they opened so the old women wouldnt kick me out.

                      Used to when younger before cell phones. I remember camping and having to drive 20 miles round trip to a pay phone to call ESB.

                      Now I just enjoy the vacation.
