Are you saying you don't want to be tracked at all, so you use cash and are anonymous at the kiosks, or are you saying that you don't want to be tracked in terms of which teams you take?
You know, it's funny. If they're trying to data mine you, and you shoot for big middles, management is confronted with whether they should employ the counter-idea of ignoring your biggest wagers and only analyzing your smaller wagers, which on the face of it makes no sense at all, especially to suits.
I don't know and I'm out of my depth.
What I do know is that any wager 1000 dollars or more will be refused without a players card in most joints these days.
But at the Kiosk you can pound it for certain amounts without any problems, ever, so far.
Any ticket that you cash 3000 dollars or more and they will ask for a players card or some form of ID but you could decline which might get you into a bit of a war, maybe.
Like I have said and you said, parlays... they don't give a shit.
The days of betting 9,999 dollars or less all over town have been gone for some time.
Personally, I don't like dealing with suits and especially in the book.
I want to make my bets and have them take my bets and pay me in an orderly fashion when I win.
As I keep saying... I'm not a professional... I'm a gambler and sometimes they are prejudice towards people gambling.
2 Team Parlays are in more of a winning position than you like to admit.
I know because they refuse many of my 2 Team Parlays many times.
They know that many times a 2 team Parlay has the edge.
