    Not to mention anyone can now run a google image search. If they have your photo they could match you from someone else’s tagged Facebook photo of you, LinkedIn profile, or any other way your pretty face might be floating around in cyberspace. Maybe we’ll have to start wearing paper bags over our heads? I guess that would be a pretty big tell. You’d have to get a sharpie and write “not a counter” on the bag - that should do it. Off to the store to see if they still sell paper bags....

    Makes sense. This is scary. We're entering a new era...

    I have played rated in Las Vegas, MO, PA, and Tunica and they simply swipe it in and return you the card. You can opt to leave whenever you wish just like anyone else. If you color up, they do come and note it down but if you simply up and walk away, no problems.

    I played with a card (3+) years, still do but more judiciously. Despite the fact that I played rated and they had all sorts of information on me, when a local casino put me in the OSN, nothing much changed. They did not place my drivers license or drivers license photo or info on the OSN. Just a picture of me at the table, a picture of my car (since traded), my license plate (since changed) and that I was last seen in MO. Since the OSN listing, I went to and successfully played at a sister casino on the other side of the state. The other local casino sometimes takes counter measures but its primarily based upon my play there and not the OSN listing. I drive 30 miles away and play at their sister casino, get comped rooms on the other side of the state.

    Despite the OSN, I get comped rooms elsewhere and nothing has occurred. I wonder if I wasted all that money buying a ladies wig and glasses and dress up as a 6' woman in a baggy tracksuit (my personna in LV on my last trip) or maybe that is what has helped me but so far, its been okay.

    Maybe the casinos have all decided to independently determine if someone is a counter and not take the word of a small town casino in Iowa or rural MO. Who knows.

    Is this one-upmanship? You just had to try and beat Freighters kilt and Scotsman look. Could both of you send pictures so we can all vote in a poll who has the better look? Zee, an Elvis disguise might have been cheaper.

    I've seen Zeeb OSN photo. He makes a good Mrs. Doubtfire.

    Going back a little over four years on Wong's site you asked frequent questions like you guys actually split nines? Four years time Zee and you make the above quote.

    Man, you have come a long way.

    They might start with the vehicle not registered to you, find out who it is registered with, search that persons social media and other stuff, check your face with DL database in the state the car is registered in and it goes on. Maybe they threaten a forum owner for ID's of its users if they dont hack into it.

    I was once worked at LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory, where the hydrogen bombs originated from) and had to get a clearance. They had stuff on me I had long forgotten, even heard from neighbours who I had forgotten and who were contacted, all my addresses going back 30 years, every bank account I opened and closed, credit card I held, etc., etc. and this was 20 years ago. Technology has vastly improved now.

    ZeeBabar, if you just would just have stated earlier on that you were a former expert in the field of espionage, you would have been taken more seriously. Freightman, you have lost the contest for the best disguise, despite the free exposure.

    Im disappointed. However, I am now, more than ever, determined to explore additional benefits of the FBM ASC.
