I am from STL, but read belong to your group to stay up on the Chicago
VP environment. Thanks to all who contribute. I do try to understand
the cashback/bounce back coupon calculations that casinos use and I
can tell you it seems more like mysticysm than science. I do know
that for sure, if you play very regularly most systems reward you
LESS, because (I believe) they know you will be back, so they give you
just enought to keep you coming. (not right or fair) My wife doesnt
play nearly as much as I do and many time she will get better and/or
extra coupons that are great, I think to get her 'back in the door'.
I have asked many questions and almost always get different info/or
contridictory info. I believe it is because almost noone really knows,
and that is how they want to keep it. Personally I play to win and
just consider the BB as a bonus of what ever that casino wants to give
me and dont really count on anything. I have never been out to see
what I can get, and have almost never been told 'no' when I do ask for
something, so I think I have always been treated very well. Sorry to
ramble on so much, I just wanted to share a different thought on the
whole BB thing.
