Heat for losers?

If you ever own a casino let me know lol.

I'm thinking about a major strip casino where the eye, a friend of mine, related a story about a high roller gentleman they knew was counting. The casino was into him for more than a million dollars over time. They have no intention of barring him, unless he begins to win. Then they will aks him to kindly flat bet from then on. Sounds like a reasonable approach to me from the owner's point of view.

or they flat bet him before he has time to win anything back. That would be the better approach because if they know he is playing a winning game, they know they have gotten lucky that he is down so much so they should take their winnings and make him flat bet so he doesnt havea chance to get even.

I think the point is, and we often forget, that most card counters are unsuccessful. They are undisciplned, or they steam, or they count sloppily, or they deviate from correct spreads, BS, or they are not careful in selecting games to play. or they..... you name it. Card counting is probably a boon to casinos for this very reason. All the successful counters combined, I am sure, do not come anywhere close to winning what the losing, undisciplined counters lose.

I know what you mean lol - maybe they know he's a bad counter lol. Seems like losing $1MM over "time" might be indicative of that lol. Makes me wonder how a multi-millionaire counter would play anyway lol.

I wonder if casinos could even determine if he's playing a winning game or not lol.
