You can still put a value on it, you just have to figure out what the odds of that happening are.

Even with real money or money in the bank there is a chance something can happen to it, so do you put less value on it untill it's spent? I would not agrue with you if you said yes.
Point taken, but I'm insured with most banks. The bottom line is that I've had stashed (already earned) dollar amount of comps dramatically reduced without warning in the past, so it's something in my experience that is much more likely than a bank failure not backed by the feds. Had I been relying on my assumptions regarding comp values in the decisions (and math) of whether to play, these instances would have rendered my math and decisions to play wrong. That would have all been on me.
What kind of comps are we talking about? If you are talking RFB comps, I put very little value on that kind of stuff. It's just icing on the cake.
