I know that some people will say that I am not taking full advantage of allthat is available to me and milking the system for all it's worth. My
reply
to that is I was not brought up that way and that you can only take
advantage of a good thing for so long until the advantage is denied to you
because you helped kill it. Live with it.Bob Craig

There's another way to look at it, Bob. In the short term, you're not taking
full advantage of the system. I'm guessing in the long term you do take full
advantage because you're the kind of customer most casinos would like to
have: no hassle, no freebies needed/wanted, no indiscretionary comps, in
short just no trouble. Yeah you may beat them from time to time but you
spread your play around so that no one place gets beat up badly. So you get
to play relatively hassle-free & have learned over 23 years to make
adjustments as things change.
I think you're the true advantage player because you've learned a lesson in
economics. Maximizing profit for the short-term maximizing profit in the
long-term are mutually exclusive because the customer or supplier won't take
the suffering for long.
As much as I miss the old plays, I know I'm not going to see them again. So
I'll learn to live with it.
