I agree. there is nothing to gain except bragging rights, sort of. Why brag about the fact that you now killed a goose that laid golden eggs? You got banned because you got too greedy, or you were too much of a jerk. And because you were a jerk to a few key people, they decided to watch you and find a reason to kick you out. I have a place that for sure suspects me of counting, but I tip, joke around with the staff, tell a few stories and flat bet. I’m sure they would’ve watched me closer if I did the opposite.
Also, there are plenty of stores in Vegas and AC that sweat even the smallest bet jump. They’ll kick you out if you’re a threat or not. So again, nothing to really brag about.
