Retards at Rio gave $510 freeplay to anyone who was Caesars Diamond Plus or higher, or MGM Gold or higher... what do you think happened?

This is where you and I part strategic company. Because this promo requires no skill, I would have told friends/family about it, but not with the idea of self-profiting. I don't understand how you can argue that I'm pennyante when I have never, ever grifted off friends and acquaintances in this manner, and you have.

Oh, this requires no skill? Then, please tell me how you're going to get your friends and family to higher-tier levels without losing a bunch of money in the first place?

I'm fairly certain it's been mentioned before. I don't really think you understand(or you purposely avoid this aspect)l that when many Advantage Players talk about "friends and family," it really means people they have recruited over the years who are basically part-time employees.

Sure, some of those people may become friends over the years, but they're very happy with the arrangement and they're just not interested in doing the stuff on their own.

Those higher-tier levels they achieve are usually not something they've done on their own. There's a lot of time, effort, and risk in achieving and maintaining those higher levels while remaining profitable.

As to why some people use the terms "friends and family," people may not want the casinos and others to know they are running a bunch of employees and randos through on promotions.

Actually, Axelwolf, you and I both know ways to get to higher tier levels that circumvent most of the sweat and almost all of the risk. But if you think I'm laying them out on this forum, you're nuts. They do require patience and the ability to hit-and-run while toting a fair amount of cash, but to quote Nirvana, "I've said too much. I set it up."

The "not interested in doing stuff on their own" translates into "I ain't explainin' it unless they make me" 99% of the time, so no, I don't buy others' laziness as a legitimate reason to skim money from them. But hey, I'm a sleazebag tout; what do I know about decency?
