Casinos backing-off or black listing players

So what do the casinos really get from backing-off or completely black listing a player for any reason other than out-right cheating.
This is the 21st century. Stop sweating the money, casinos!

I voted "OK for Casinos." My reasoning is that I've seen openly abusive (but not cheating) people thrown out and/or banned, and I'd like that policy to continue. As to what the casinos get from backing these people off, the answer is simple - my continued patronage.

What does "openly abusive" mean?

As far as those who "have heard" about others who were supposedly banned from a casino (not for abusive behaviour because I know a few people who've gone through that, but for gaming prowess) or those who claim they've been banned for whatever reasons, I have to date seen only one gambler show his 86'ed letter from the casino on-line. I've heard of a lot of others, but I would think they'd get written notification from the casino at some point also. What's everyone's opinion, or experience, on this?

Most on-point:
About 6 months ago I was playing BJ in the "High-limit" area at a local casino (a whole whopping $25/hand). I hit a 12 against a 3 and doubled a soft 19 against a 6 on consecutive hands. I won both hands, but the dealer made her hand each time as well. The guy to my left stood up, got 2 inches from my ear, and told me exactly what he thought of my mother's sexual abilities. Apparently, this was not the first time he'd done something similar, because the Pit Boss told him it was his "third strike" and he was now "permanently banned from play." Later, the dealer told me that the player had just finished a 2 week ban for his second strike, and this was his 3rd day back in the casino.

Also qualifies:
2 years ago, a fellow player would call the female dealer a bitch each and every time she failed to bust. Each and every time she would say something in return. Her retorts started out as "I really do not like that word. Please do not use that word" and evolved into "You must be confused, I am not your mother" before she finally just shouted "FLOOR! Verbal Abuse at Table 32 seat 3!" That player was backed off and escorted out. I'm not sure how long he was suspended for.

The best part: Each incident happened on a weekday, during the day, and at a dry casino.

I think the question should have been posed as whether casinos should have the right to bar perceived advantage players from playing. Of course they should have the right to bar cheaters or abusive players.

So you gave him a vicious headbutt, right? :)
