"I saw the numbers somewhere. I thought it was in the linked article. I think the casinos spent billions protecting from losses of millions. Paying $1000 to guard against losing $1 is not a good strategy for maximizing profits."

"A lot of the new security they're buying is actually designed to reduce their security costs. The only way we'll understand the true story on this is by knowing someone on the inside with the books, which isn't going to happen. One of my many problems with the article is when he said they're spending "gobs" as if this proves his point. What is "gobs"? I actually thought that was one of the funnier parts of his article. There were many."

Three is correct on this one and APs do not need someone on the inside to look at the books to prove it. There is an old casino tradition that goes back a long time it boils down to a matter of principal theory, and also a sense of overwhelming paranoia. Regardless of how successful a casinos profit margins may be it is beyond their comprehension to possibly think that a few CHEATING "yes cheating as there is no other logical explanation to them" players have the audacity to enter their premises and steal a few hundred bucks from them. No cost is too high to prevent such a thing from happening. As far as the paranoia concern goes you can thank numerous players like Three for that one, as they have previously publicized on boards of numerous victories.

I think it is the big teams that publicized wins I could only dream about that are to blame. If you want to inflate me to that status it is up to you. I just try to pay some bills in my modest life.
