Early today Bob Dancer posted a message on vpFree about how they've hired an exec who used to work at a co. called OSN--described as a leading company in the recognition & analysis of "lucky and knowledgeable" vp players. He described this as putting fear into him enough so that he won't play there, because, as he says, if he hits a couple of $10 royals then he runs the risk of being walked out.

So far no one questioned this....and I'm sure arci would have if he were not permanently banned from the most popular vp forum on the Internet for bad behavior. So I did, by asking why it would be such a bad thing to be able to walk away from the place for good after attaining a nice net profit? I asked if OSN shares its info with the other casinos, but I'll bet it doesn't.

I haven't heard of this outfit so I called the executive offices at the Silverton, a place that won't allow me to play vp there any more because of being "too lucky". I asked if my situation was a result, in any way, of an OSN analysis. The person I talked to denied having knowledge of that company, and simply said he wasn't allowed to discuss my situation with me over the phone because he had no way of knowing if it was me or not. OK, so I set up a tentative visit with him in Oct. It's no big deal, but I'd like to know more.

The point is, Dancer's saying there's a fear that he would be tossed if he won, either by being lucky or knowledgeable. So what's wrong with walking away with their former money in his pockets? I certainly am not angry for taking probably less than $10k from the Silverton in 8 straight successful visits and not being able to take any more. I don't understand his thinking on this.
