If you try to edit it will delete the post. Does same to me. Must be bc we are basic accounts

If i play a slot machine its because i won some on blackjack and i will put in a few hundred to try them out and just chill out. Them again i do like the casino. Haha

I do tend to stay away from thise 3 card poker tables and stuff like that.

Copy your post, then delete it and then repost the edited version.

As we know, casinos don't always make rational decisions.... Plus, the important point for us is how much damage we take, not the casino.

Is having your real name in the databases worth $ xx,000 in damages?

Also, bear in mind you hear a lot about big damages /settlements. There are many other medium and small amounts we hear less about...

That's likely to cost a casino way more than what your BJ play costs them.

I play rated at my home casino, using more cover, because I’m there often enough that they would know me anyway. Everywhere else is unrated.

I will say I’ve never been to a casino that didn’t ask for I.D. once I’d refused a card.

WOW@!#@!....I've NEVER been asked for ID...and I've only been playing for nearly 40 yrs...prob an age thing?

I was thinking the same thing but I made the mistake of playing rated. It worked great for me until it didn't. Now I am stuck with whatever that leaves for my future. I can't drive any of my cars to the casino. Many suits know me by name and have spread to most other casinos across the region. I still get the money I need but the reduced options really suck.

Yes, I’m young and I look it, so I always get carded. The casinos know who I am either way. I’ve often thought refusing the card is not worth the hassle, and I should just play rated with more cover.

So to those of you advising to never play rated, what about playing rated with heavily modified cover as in Burning the Tables in Las Vegas?

For me, Playing rated early has been of tremendous value. I made a whole lot of mistakes in my first couple of years, cementing my reputation as a ploppy. It has resulted, even today, with free room offers plus good credit and, in some places, table play coupons of $100 each month.

After getting nasty feedback from pros on this site, I tried playing unrated on trips to Las Vegas and MS only to realize that heat increased significantly while playing anonymously. I played DD games relatively heat free when using my players card. Now, On trips, I play unrated but if heat is intense, I just use my card.

A local casino took counter measures and then put me on OSN. For a while, I thought my playing days locally were over and I might face difficulties on my trips. To my surprise, the other two local casinos still let me play unaware of my being in the database as an AP. OSN did not have any effect in Las Vegas or MS either.

Now, please don't take this as advice. If you play different stakes (I play $10-$15 minimum 6 deck and $15-$25 DD games with a max bet under $175), Playing to pay bills (full time aaP), use big spreads, and such, listen to the pros. For all you know, my 4 year minimal success (won about $60k) is just variance.

Thanks Zee.
