Backed off, backed out, back roomed

[bj bob]

While we're on the subject of baring our souls to the world , I was wondering how many of you estute gentlemen have been backed off, and how many times ? (if you still keep count). How many have been asked to leave the property (backed out) and finally, for those wretched few among us, how many have been backed roomed? or is that pretty much a thing of the past?
Please don't get any more specific then necessary. I don't want to be responsible for any missing limbs , scalpings , bail etc. I do however, look forward to some colorful imagery.

1 back off
1 preferential shuffle.

Sure, I'm just a noob, but I obviously must be doing something wrong.

I was asked to leave only once. It really was much less eventful than I thought it would be.

Now the times I've been kicked out for cursing out other players has been a little more interesting...

I do not remember how many times I have been backed off, probably about 20 times, several times in the same place months or years after the first one.

I am barred from one casino but it was extended to their sister properties. I have no problem mentioning who, it was Harrah's. Harrah's tossed me from my room, early AM, and I was shoved in my room by security (no cameras in the room). They insisted on coming into the room while I packed under their excuse that I might wreck something. Also, while in public areas they called me a cheat and questioned my family history all in an attempt to perhaps have me throw a punch and get me arrested.

Nearly 30 years ago, I was beaten and robbed by casino employees (I had seen them working inside several times) in the parking lot of Walker Hill Resort, in Seoul Korea after two straight nights of large wins. Walker Hill was a Sheraton at that time but the casino was probably a local mob operation. The police had no real interest and Korea in those days was very different than Korea is today.

I have never had the displeasure of visiting the so called backroom.

You're barred from all Harrah's, everywhere?

That's like half of the casinos.

I guess ive been pretty lucky so far...the closest thing to trouble ive had was constant attention from 3 pit bosses hovering over me after a couple good shoes and a $400 profit, and then another player remarking "wow, youre really good, you must be a card counter!" Trying to shake that off while doubling a 8 unit bet in a very positive count was a little nerve-racking. I usually dont fluctuate my bets that much tho, that might be part of it.

I have never been asked to leave. They just 'inform me' that I am now required to bet minimum and no more.

Ouch! That's scary. Interesting tactic, though...pushing you back into your room where there's no EYE. How long ago did this happen and did they get your picture and/ or ID? Have you since try to go back and test the waters?

isn't true they can't force you to go to the backroom? that you're just supposed to walk away if that situation arises?

also they do let you cash your winnings in don't they?

I'm flat betted at bellagio, and mirage. Im possibly screwed at all MGM properties not sure. Limited to a 1-2 spread at one indian casino, not allowed on table games at two others, and told to leave at another. This was all last year. I pretty much burned out all my local games worth driving to. That is what I get for playing long sessions, but when you have to travel a long way to get to casinos i dont really see another option. I will brag though my profits gambling last year almost touched six figures with about half of it coming from straight card counting and the other half exploiting promos so I guess it was worth it. I have played very little this year about 2 hours total and im down 2K. My goal for 07 is just to be in the black!
