What are some of your worst memories from gambling trips..

[ZeeBabar]

I had a similar experience with a better ending.

About 15 years ago, was at FW with family in comped suite. Played Sp21 for hours in MGM portion, no issues. Played BJ in main casino for a bit, then went to Newport room. After a short time, shift mgr introduced himself and said no more BJ, all very polite. I was tempted to ask him if that included Sp21, but didn't. Then he said, "I know you're here with your family. As long as you don't play here any more, we'll keep your room as a comp for the night." They did zero out my comps, however. I had access to the VIP lounge on 18th (?) floor, so we went there for dinner. A bit surprising that they let us in. Every time a suit walked in the room, I thought they were going to toss us, but it didn't happen.

I am always amazed at how the comps and the entire “back off” system works.

1. I got into the famous data base, identified as Advantage Player with my name and a pretty good clear picture and yet, nothing much happened with comps anywhere.

2. At one chain, I am comped in the hotel, the pit boss addresses me by name even when I am not using my players card, says I cannot play BJ there. I keep my room, play at its other casinos in the same town.

3. At two other casinos, I get politely backed off. At one, I am sternly addressed, told I will not be allowed to play at any of its properties. I am staying at one of their property where I get dining credit and table play for which Zi use my players card and play.

Here, I have heard of players being flyered all over town and trespassed but none of it is happenning yet.

Using your lingo, you are a part-time recreational player. The smarter casinos evaluate your play (actual play and betting level) and realize you're not a threat. The dumber ones just reflexively take counter-measures. Stronger players with bigger bets are more of a threat and are treated differently.

I am glad to hear it. I have no desire to or truthfully, don’t have the ability to make more money so as long as they tolerate me and I can aim for $10k a year......

As usual 21forme is dead on. Most casinos only backoff players that they feel are a threat, or are winners. They rarely backoff someone that doesn't even play basic strategy correctly. Why would they?
Those types of players lose money in the long run. People like that are just handing their money over to the casino eventually. Or they are playing for like $10 per hour EV. Most casinos don't care about that action.

How would you know my age? And this is your response to everything...and anyway do you think young people are stupid?
It's getting old guy...try coming up with some type of coherent response. I mean really.

There you go posting on a thread I started and then telling me not to post on your thread. As for your age, it’s obvious. Grown up mature people don’t claim to use language like “everyone knows..”, “everyone thinks..”....or crap like “don’t post on my thread”... I have been on this forum for 7+ years and it’s the first time I hear someone saying that a thread belongs to them and admonishing people who post on it. Admonishing is for the forum administrators.

its easy to tell your age..

I never said my thread belonged to me. I simply asked that you and goatlife please not respond, because I am not interested in anything you have to say or your constant nonsense and disruption of good threads. But of course it's obvious that you can't do that.
