What did you do to get banned from Stations casinos?

 

[MrX]

Played a lot of winning MLB sides for the limit.

Also, I usually played them very close to gametime. I don't know if that was a factor or not. On the one hand, it could leave them with unbalanced action and no time to balance it. On the other hand, why are they hanging the best number in town if they don't want action on that side?

Ah, you made it to Vegas.

 

[MrX]

Ah, you made it to Vegas.

Yes, I have arrived. Vegas in July. It's lovely.

My bike broke down by Sloan lake, had to walk home.

Shouldn't have bought American.

 

[reno cool]

Was that thing American? Well it was a piece of shit whatever it was. Locked it up to a parking sign, debating on whether or not to go pick it up tomorrow.

That bike was too pretty to be good.

Were you going to different Stations properties to place your bets? If not did you feel this was a contributing factor in their decision?

What about your presence? Did you act stupid and down money or would that not have helped once the sides and amounts bet were realized by management?

How long did you get away with winning?

 

[MrX]

Virtually all my action was at the Palace Station. Spreading it out probably would have helped. At the time, I didn't realize that being booted was much of a likelihood.

I really don't think any "act" short of being a big losing gambler at slots or tables would have helped. They have the screen in front of them. I don't think any act is going to convince them that some guy that's almost always betting an underdog and always at the best price in town is a square.

I had one full really good season there. I was kicked out about halfway through another good season.

A lot of it was bad luck. I went through about a two week period when just about everything I played there won. Then I go in to bet a big +240 dog that I want a lot of action on. I ask the teller for 4, their normal limit, and he points out that its a key game and they'll take up to 8. Without really thinking I say "great, gimme 8". That was the ticket that doomed me, I think. After I cashed that, they told me I could only come in once a day. Two days later they said I was done.

Mr. X, forgive me for being slow, but can I presume this is your profession?
