From my experience that's the biggest factor.
If that was the case, I'd never get any comps.

They will tell you all the time that "winning or losing doesn't matter. It is just your theoretical." It is total bullshit. 2 guys play the same hours with the same avg bet, one guy loses $500 and the other guy loses 10,000, trust me the guy losing 10,000 is going to get WAY better comps.

Trust me Shad .. It makes a huge difference. The smart thing to do if you lose big in a session, is to go somewhere else and get it back. Way better comps that way.
I guess the trick is not to lose very much. One of the houses I play in regularly has a 10% cashback if you lose $1,000 or more in an 8 hour period. It's one of the few promos I've tried to avoid.
There are plenty of ways to get good comps without losing your shirt. I believe those are the ones you should be concerned with.

PM me please Shad.
It's not a secret. It's Terribles in Vegas.
The one time I saw it, A guy at my table bought in 5 or 6 times for $200 plus. All with the same pitboss. When he was broke, the guy asked for the rebate. Pitboss said it would be awhile as he had to go over the tapes to confirm the buy-ins. About fifteen minutes passed and no rebate. Guy asked again and was told it would be a t least another thirty minutes. Guy asked for a comp for the buffet while he waited. PB said he couldn't write both comps.

Hmm... sounds dicey. You'd probably need to be a ninja at ratholing, and play too long for them to actually go over the tapes. It could be done, though.
Probably not as valuable as counting, and if you were counting while you did it, I'm sure they'd nail your ass for that if they're watching the tapes to confirm your win-loss.
