Casinos don't comp based upon WIN or LOSS.....they comp based upon PLAY.....

we already KNOW if you'll win or lose in the long run.

When you go and always lose no matter what, it's better to not play at all and find something more meaningful to do like take a hike, take a long bike ride, go camping, read a book, clean the house.

Sometimes I wonder if people are under the illusion that they can take their money with them when they die.

You know that, and I know that. But degenerate gamblers would rather play and lose, than not play at all.

As do we "gambling addicts". For us it's an affordable vacation, gambling included. The times we win are great and the times we lose we still have a good time.

This time is especially beneficial as we planned to come for Las Vegas Uncork'd even if we weren't comped. We will spend our money at the Bellagio since they were nice enough to give us a room for three nights.

That's why I get my comps up front. When a floorman asks if I would like a player's card I only oblige if he agrees to buy me lunch first. I got mines!

You chase and sweat your winners and sustain and appease your losers. You cut loose the winners when they refuse to become losers. Casino Management 101.
