Others make a living off it and need to play for higher stakes or bigger edges. Some of the stuff I play elsewhere, draws pros as well, but the DT Boyd stuff seems to be mostly for recreational players. I think that Jean Scott use to play $2 NSUD on point multiplier days at GC. It would be a small edge, but I have no idea at how much FP that got her.
Wasilla, don't worry about some feedback from some of resident curmudgeons on this board. Your suggestions (and your realistic attitude) are appreciated.
I had started to play some heavy VP at Boyd downtown casinos a few months before the big Boyd retraction of comps at the end of 2018. Since then, I have been grandfathered into Sapphire including this calendar year. I have only 500 carry over points in 2020 but still retain Sapphire until the end of 2020. I still get Boyd weekend room offers and when my school buddies and I do our periodic visits to downtown, I house a couple of them at a Boyd hotel on my comps. I do like the Boars Head Bar for good beer and 9/6 VP but it takes so long to earn points, I may just play slots to get another 250 points so I can hit the magical 750 level just to keep my Boyd's status on life support. One by-product is 40 tier points on a weekend is good for a free brunch buffet at MSS.
