Banned
After hearing a few stories about being banned and flyered. I am curious what it took to end up in that situation. I have only been backed of once. I fly under the radar more because of my bankroll dictates than anything else.

What kind of spread did you use and how much did you win at a pop to get flyered, banned or trespassed? How about play modifications for hand match ups? What do you think was the straw that broke the camel's back?

I think it depends on the size of the casino. At large casinos in LV and AC, I have seen APs got away with 40 to 1 spread and $10,000 winnings. But in small casinos, it is likely they back you off when you win over $3,000.

I think $3,000 is the threshold for most casinos. Don't try to win more than $3,000 at the same place in one day. Or come again the next day to face the same crew. Then you will be OK. I won most of the time. But using the discipline, I have never been backed off.
 
My first back-off happened not too long ago at a big store on the east coast. Was a regular (once a week or so) there for the past year or so playing pretty chunky green action ($25-500 spread) with very little cover. After taking ~$50,000 off them on my player's card (plus thousands in comps), I think ultimately they had to review my play based on pretty consistent winning (generally under $3k per visit) over a longer term.

I figured it was only a matter of time, seeing as how I was playing rated. In fact, I was surprised at how long it ultimately took them.

For now, I'm taking a break from BJ there for a bit and will play poker when I go there. I will ultimately play smaller stakes unrated in the future.

That being said, I have a weeklong Vegas trip planned for July and will be playing very aggressively. I am expecting multiple back-offs during the trip.

now that's what i like to hear, especially as a part-time player, spread ridiculously aggressive (min 40)...don't fret getting backed off, leave the cover plays for the pros

It's not my goal to be backed off, but I'm realistic. My goal is to make as much money as possible in a week in Vegas. Since I only go once a year at most, there's very little value in putting much effort into not being backed off. Am I wrong?
 
Out of the few backoffs I have had, most have been when I was losing. One time, I didn't know surveillance was watching (but should have known for reasons I shouldn't mention), and was busted, even after being down a fair amount during that session. Another time, I played way too long trying to get back to even.

Other backoffs occurred within 20 minutes, so they were watching my play right away. I had no chance of lasting long (unless I only played 15-minute sessions).
 
Sometimes no logic for a backoff.

I got 86'd in a state where its illlegal to get kicked out of a casino. I'd been playing there for a year 25 to 2 x 300, but i started pushing it. One night, after many beers and routinely going 3 x 500 to 1 x 10, security booted me out.
Bellagio flat bet me, for playing a 6 to 1 spread with a max bet of 2 x 300. I still dont know why they were watching me, betting that little. On a busy weekend night too.
Halfshoes are a diff matter altogether, and i get many of those.

I got half shoed last week.

I wasn't counting, and was flat betting table minimum the whole time. Was actually the first time I got half shoed ever.
