    And yes...STOP distracting me. I am trying to get my sports picks all organized for the weekend. Can't make some of them until this evening (half juice Friday evening), but try to get the work done ahead of time.
    I haven't forgotten anything. To claim that Singer went unrated is somewhat silly, both silly for Singer and silly for you. His smiling face was on the cover of Gaming Today half the issues for about a decade. That means his countenance was seen every week by literally tens of thousands of people in every casino and especially every sports book. If people didn't know who he was, then that's on them.

    And before you try to make the argument that but, but, but Singer said he wasn't rated, you should realize that it doesn't matter if he plugged his card in or not. Those were the days of discretionary comps. Whether he had his card in or not was largely irrelevant.

    And before you tell me that I'm wrong, please bear in mind that I was getting probably three-quarters of my comps at the time via discretionary. So yeah, all I had to do was ask, card or not. People had some idea who I was.

    And I also realize that what I just wrote kind of undermines the entire man-about-town, under-the-radar vibe kewlJ tries to maintain vis-a-vis his blackjack playing. Again, Las Vegas is largely like Cheers....everybody knows your name, or if not your name, your story. So hard to walk into a place after 10 years and claim you're The Chameleon (that's a reference for really old Spider-Man fans).

    The "wildman gets better comps" thesis was wrong in the first place and even more obviously wrong when they are not even able to track the wildman's play.

    Once again, kew's making things up about me in order to fit some kind of confusing scenario.

    As I've said several times in the past few years: I played my SPS from Jan. 2000 thru Feb. 2004. I used a card for every hand played in every major casino across the state (Laughlin to Tahoe/LV to Reno/Carson Valley to Wendover/& Jackpot to Mesquite) from $1 VP thru $100 VP. Obviously, that generated a ton of comps and offers everywhere, and it's why I put up hundreds of visitors I trained/advised into rooms all over the state. And it wasn't unusual for me to check into a half dozen hotels at a time on most trips, in order to collect the freebies as well as take care of my "guests".

    Now the tough pill for kew to swallow: from Feb. 2004 thru May 2009, when I discovered and played the DU Bug, I did not use a slot card UNTIL immediately after hitting a financially bumped-up hand where I was hand-paid. At that point, I always played that machine's highest denomination WITH MY PLAYER'S CARD INSERTED and purposely lost 5% of my big win. You play at the $5 level, $10 level, or at the $25 level, lose X amount, and back then the comps and offers flowed.

    I may not have been the biggest recipient of all the free stuff (including full RFB at a number of places) the casinos used to shower upon mid-level players. But I certainly got my cut of the pie....in addition to all those winnings.

    Those were the days....the ONLY days.

    Just out of curiosity, about when did casinos start tracking play via player's cards and awarding comps based on that play, as opposed to discretionary award?

    I don't know but Harrah's is supposed to have been the company that really pioneered "analytical" player tracking. Somewhere in the 90s I'd guess.

    Some of you geniuses couldn't pass Las Vegas 101 even with cheat sheets and google. You do realize that players received comps for sports betting (with no formal tracking at all) for decades? In the 80's and 90's, players were recognized, identified, and then taken care of, regardless of whether they were playing slots, video poker, or sports betting. And without formal tracking.

    I love how anonymous folks step up and speak as alleged experts while getting basic historical facts completely wrong.

    OFC there were comps pre-good tracking systems. It was easy to trick the systems back then..... AND NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I didn't think anyone would care or be interested in what I was doing, until years later when this came out. This is very similar to what I did when I was 22/23 years old and had very little money. I wasn't even 21 when I worked my first AP.

    You did not understand the nature of my objection.
