Kcace, thanks for the reply. I'm 63 & have made it through life by not
answering robo-calls, not responding to credit card solicitations, tossing junk
mail & have lost hundreds of millions in found money from Nigerian
emailers. I also have a background in financial planning so I might have a better
radar than most when it comes to spotting scams. Don't know where you live
but where I live I can trust my neighbors & know all but one & am active in
the community as part of our Neighborhood Watch & other activities -- no
we don't leave our doors unlocked. We do have gangs & streaks where we have
a murder each day but, in general, I feel that I can trust most people I
meet. When I go to LV or Reno, my trust levels go down but it's still pretty
high for most people & places. In general, I've had a lot of good
experiences with casinos but my goal has become a bit different than most. On this
board, there's a lot of people who are trying to find the high-% play &
believe it's foolish if you don't burn it out. The casino reaction is
predictable & it becomes a competition which can get ugly. I still want to make
money but also want a good time for friends & family that I bring & the
casinos have responded very well in that department. I know I've been cheated but
I've also been overcompensated. I guess if I were in a daily competition
to make money, my attitude would be different but I'm not so I'm just going
to enjoy the current state of affairs & have already adjusted my goals to
when things get worse. In a nutshell, it's "Learn to enjoy what they give
you or play in another sandbox".

Ted,
Unfortunately, in real life cheating goes on all the time. You may not
always be aware of it, but it is in your own interest to educate yourself.
Where there is competion there is cheating. If you want to participate you
should have a strategy for dealing with the type of cheating that you expect
to encounter.
