Most people who play low house edge games who have a big loss usually are comped off the losses, because the theo generated by .25% HA blackjack is really worthless in comparison.
The next time you come in and have a big win there, your comps will dry up anyways. Might as well use them, stiff them, and go play at another chain next time you come in and start the process all over again. There are enough places in Vegas that you can play at a different chain each trip or every other trip and generate similar offers while giving little-no action to the place where you are staying. Everything is generated by computer and there is very little discretion at your level of play, while it's a huge amount of money, the strip LV casinos are courting 50k-100k level players and don't have the time to give you much personal attention.
comps don't dry up for winning in a lot of cases unless the casino is run by total morons.the bolded is not true at all.
go drop 12k on 2 hands of blackjack and you're not getting 450 a day in comps. do it playing a bunch of hours over 2 days with a very high adt and then maybe you''ll hit that number. but it absolutely matters HOW you dropped that number as it should.if you get absolutely buried quick and the pit has some discretion you'll might do a little better than adt but not by much.
the casino doesn't even use that .25% as the number used to calculate adt. some casinos have different skill ratings for players (ie some play perfect basic strategy, some play at a huge disadvantage because they play horribly) and your adt would be based off of a number based on those ratings but something like .25% is never the default.
basically none of what you said is true.adt is what matters in almost every case save for massive whales.
this however "Might as well use them, stiff them, and go play at another chain next time you come in and start the process all over again. There are enough places in Vegas that you can play at a different chain each trip or every other trip and generate similar offers while giving little-no action to the place where you are staying."i agree with.
