Mickey, I have been meaning to comment on this since I saw it but just didn't get around to it.Originally Posted by mickeycrimm
Do you not play rated? And if you don't, I assume for similar reasons as blackjack players, to not assist in identifying you?
I ask because playing rated, you certainly should be able to knock down some of those hotel room and restaurant meal expenses. These are your 2 top expenses. Just knocking these in half would be really worthwhile.
Most of my play....my personal blackjack play and our partnership machine play takes place locally, so I don't have much use for comped room, except for putting up an occasional out of town guest. But the meal comps...myself and my partner (business in this case), eating out comped at the casinos at least once a day, sometimes twice a day, really knocks down out household grocery bill. I don't know what the savings is but it is surely thousands (plural) per year.
The (inflated) value of the food comps is surely ten's of thousands a year, but that is not the actual value. The actual value is what it would cost to eat all those extra meals at home and that is probably 4-5 thousand, I would think.
