    Win/Loss Statement

    I requested and received win/loss statements from one casino for several years.
    My question concerns the utility of using the casinos numbers to determine if one should start playing unrated. I was pleasantly surprised at my numbers for this particular property. I've only in the last several years tried to accurately track my DAILY and TRIP totals but not individual property totals.
    Any thoughts are appreciated.
    P.S. I'm still a red chipper.
    I still remember Flash1296's observation that red chip probably won't get a lot of heat......

    Most would say red chipping doesn't get much heat. All matters on the casino though, I've seen some "high limit" rooms with 15$ minimum.

    Cumulative win will always cause heat.

    Not exactly sure what you are asking though, if the casino knows you so well that you will be entered anyways then...good luck trying to play unrated. If the report looks good and comps are worth it then keep going.

    Win/loss statements at low levels are highly inaccurate.

    Win Loss statements at every level are highly inaccurate. I have had casinos be off by as much as $50,000. This is particularly true for high stakes cash players who have chip stockpiles. That is why the IRS does not accept them as evidence of anything. The only time the IRS will use them is if they are filing a case against you and if the Win/Loss statement confirms their position. If it confirms your position it will be disallowed. That said, you can use win/loss statements to check to see how effective your method of ratholing chips is.
