The freeplay was at Caesars LV. The $25 DDBP game was 9/5; the $5 BP game was 7/5. He never mentioned slot club additives probably because he's 7-Stars, and they constantly shower him with more than he can use.
The issue hasn't anything to do with quitting at the high point, since we all know that's impossible to determine. It had everything to do with the player announcing he was playing his freeplay thru only once, then taking any profit and leaving....and then changing his mind once he had a pocket full of cash won from the casino that apparently was burning a hole in his pocket. He said he was going to follow thru on his word because he's a recreational player who always has losing years, and he asked for advice regarding this $2500 in freeplay only.
My "belittling" was only because he didn't do what he said he was going to do after asking asking for - and accepting - the advice, and that concept has always been of primary importance in every aspect of my life. The fact that he gave away $8000 because of it that he really could have used, hopefully taught him a valuable lesson going forward.

Thanx for the clarification. I usually skip Rob's posts. Reading it now, Rob doesn't say what the pay schedule of the games were or what the benefits were for continuing to play. In the right circumstances it could have been a very enlightened move to keep playing. Rob belittles the guy based on the fact that he kept playing after reaching his high point of the day (as if anyone could know without more play) --- which is one of the least important criteria to judge a play by. If the DDB turned out to be 9/6 or less and the BP turned out to be 8/5 or less and there was no extra benefit for playing additional (including slot club, mailers, drawings, extra comps, additional loss rebates, etc.), then I would agree with Rob that it was a mistake for the guy to continue. Not because the guy gave back money from his high point (nobody can know that until the day is done --- he could have hit a royal) but because he was playing at a big disadvantage. But not knowing the parameters of why the guy continued to play, I can't evaluate how smart the play was. Bob
