    Was just going to post this. If one was banned from Caesar's in the past, will they get a fresh start? I'm guessing not.

    I know from the sportsbook side, El Dorado was all William Hill. That's NOT good for the betting public. My only sportsbook barring was from a William Hill shop. They ban anyone they believe who may have any edge.

    I do better betting sports than I do counting cards. Not even close. But I've been betting sports for 20 years and have databases going back many years. As for William Hill, you just cash a few big tickets there and you get banned. They are notorious for it.

    As for Eldorado, Wall Street isn't a fan of the deal. Down 13% today.

    Legally, yes. A sale resets tresspassing.

    Practically, no. They will just tresspassyou again when identified.
    Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!

    This development is a moot issue as all parties involved are aggressively opposed to having patrons who can think.

    Interesting. I used them while in Vegas for a month in 2015 betting with my friend on baseball for many winning bets from $1000-4000 and had no problems. Maybe higher stakes?

    I assume you use the other books now. Could always get runners for william hill though.

    Consolidation of these companies is definitely a negative, probably even moreso for machine players. Pinnacle/Penn merger and now this, despite the expansion of gambling now the vast majority of non native stores only operated by a few companies. Just waiting for the Hard Rock seminoles to buy up Boyd and Golden Nugget and it will be complete.

    Maybe in 2015 they were more lenient. They are extremely vigilante toward anyone who isn't a square.
