Boyd reserves the right to determine that anyone who is deemed in the sole and absolute discretion of the Boyd management to be an "advantage player," to be ineligible to participate in the promotion or drawing, or to have his/her ability to participate in the promoton or drawing otherwise limited. Any such "advantage player" who is already a B Connected member prior to the commencement of the promotion or drawing may be notified by Boyd prior to the commencement of the promotion or drawing of any such ineligibility or limitation determination. Otherwise, any such "advantage player" will be notified by Boyd of any ineligibility or limitation determination as soon as possible after such determination is made. An "advantage player" is described as a skilled or knowledgeable player who will find legal ways to gain mathematical advantages while gambling.

Boyd would not have come up with this new rule if they were making money off AP's. Robocchio and Alan are always saying the math works for the casinos because of stength in numbers. If you have a hundred AP's under your roof working a promotion that has positive expectation to them....some will win, some will lose, but you will not make money off them as a whole. You will lose money. And that's why Boyd came up with this new rule. I predict that other companies will start copycatting this rule.
