If he's playing perfect basic strategy chances are that comps and coupons are far greater than his losses. The casino doesn't make much money from perfect basic blackjack players..they make most of their money from the majority of players who think they know basic. Game selection is the key...good rules and low house edge. If he got extremely lucky early on and keeps his unit unchanged and plays limited annual hours at slow tables (some Comp City approaches) he will have a good chance to stay ahead of the casino for most of the rest of his playing days and with comps and tournament invites maybe even extend his margin. Keeping the unit relatively unchanged or at least proportional to his bankroll is a big caveat here.
I agree though that combined with comps if he could use a simple KO system and manage just a 1-2 or even 1-3 spread and wong out of the really bad shoes he'd get a slight advantage over the casino just on the game and with comps, tournament offers, airfare, and cash coupons a pretty decent edge.

Dancing around the question
Most of us just told you that you have been lucky, and that if you keep playing perfect basic strategy it might be ages before the casino gets it all back as long as you do not do things like raise your bet etc etc.
But to actually answer your question: Yes there are casinos that will back you off or take other measures (like the Donald example) against you even though you are playing with an advantage. They do this because there are many casinos that are paranoid and either do not have the people with the skills to evaluate your play or have management that is so paranoid that will ignore the evaluation that states you should be losing.
Knowing if you are in a paranoid joint or not is yet another AP skill often but sometimes it is just too obvious.
Should you be backed off for being lucky? Of course not but casinos do not often do what they should do.

I have been thinking about what the majority of you have been saying. I dont disagree with you at all, in fact I agree with you. The fact is I have been winning on luck and basic strategy and I should walk away before i give any back. However there is that greed of wanting more, which I think is just natural. So after long consideration, I'm walking away a winner. I'll use the winnings toward poker or something. Much appreciation for the input guys.

I am curious as to what your 1 unit bets are, as well as the 5 and 10 unit bets. Two years/ 19 out of 20 wins/ $100K plus/ yikes:yikes:
