Why do you suppose that I am supposing that? I never said that--I
only referred to that frequently occuring. Since I mentioned half a
dozen occasions over the last five years, it also follows that there
have been many more occasions when I have not drawn any "heat". My
experience is like someone who gets a lot of speeding tickets---even
for that someone, most of the time they are speeding, they don't get
caught. Am I getting "singled out" because I am driving a red car,
to further the analogy? Perhaps. But in order to answer this or the
original question, I would have to have some valid comparison with
others who play as much as I do, and neither you nor I have such
data available. 3/4 of a million in W2-G's average per year means
that I have plenty of opportunities for unwanted casino attention.

All the above said, it is ludicrous to suppose--in an insulting
manner or otherwise--that if I AM getting "singled out", it's
because of some "attitude" that you have perceived (from the scanty
evidence of my posts). Sitting at a VP machine, I am just quietly
playing, and trying to concentrate. I attract no attention
whatsoever--unless someone closely observes me, and realizes that
I'm playing over 1000 hands/hr, AND playing them expertly--which
only 1 in 100 casino employees would be able to perceive. So am I
getting (occasional) heat because some casino employee happens by,
stops to watch me pushing the buttons, perceives that I know what
I'm doing, considers me a threat, and raises the alarm?

Not bloody likely.
