I got my first flat betting restriction

#1
Good Evening Everyone i was playing at El cortez and received a flat betting restriction from the Pit Boss. I rather not go into the details, but they didnt take my picture (at least that i know of) I'm Wondering are you entered in Griffin at this point or when you are banned?

I don't think they even subscribe to Griffin so don't worry about it. Just give them some time to cool off and try to avoid the pit bosses that will recognize you.

I thought I read somewhere that Griffin died and was closing?? They are a bunch of A$$holes anyway and they never did get a good pic of me!

After the Grosjean lawsuit, they filed for bankruptcy.

Is there any way to find out if someone is in Griffin (other than by experience)?

I had to smile when I saw your post.

Rarely does anyone report to Griffin, Biometrica or even send out a SIN flyer for bets under $200 max. Even at purple/yellow chip max bets many do not send it in. Griffin is a joke and most casinos in NV don't take it seriously. Some little ****-hole in the middle of nowhere may freak out, but not in LV. I've never heard of the EC sending in a pic to any database service on a smaller bets. Maybe if you were playing the table max.

If you are part of a team or doing something that looks like cheating, that's different. Casinos HATE teams and cheats. I wouldn't worry about it. If they were really pissed at you, you'd have been barred from playing or 86'd. Flat betting is not bad. You can probably play on another shift.

Cheats perhaps, but I think that a lot of casino personnel really secretly respect the hell out of smart guys who beat the edge. Just read some of the reviews for some of the books on Amazon. There are plenty where the guy starts out with a statement like "I used to be in gaming industry" or "I was a consultant for the Tropicana" etc. and then go on about how great the book is and how effective the info could be in the hands of the right player.

Ha ha!

That makes me think of PBs standing around and being like, "Well, you're winning too much THIS TIME but c'mon back tomorrow and we'll see how it goes. . ."

They got taken for 100Gs this weekend so you might expect them to be gunshy for a while.

What was your bet spread, surely you can at least share that detail with us?

Flat bet $100 and only play CPD >= 3. You should probably still make a good amount of money. Or is part of their restriction you must play all hands? :whip:

Antagonizing the pit at someplace where you've been flat-bet is not a positive EV move even if you can still make money on the game somehow. They can make your life miserable all over town if they want to. Just move on.
