I started out with a very miniscule advantage.

If Nathan has something that's fantastic. She may be on to growing into a high profit AP career.

I think only her fear of being caught is going to hold her back.

Yep, you left your Player's Club card in a machine by complete accident and left to catch a Subway or a Train. You realized you left your Player's Club card in the machine and went back to retrieve it. You then saw that a complete Stranger was inadvertently playing BIG money on your Player's Club card and earning you a LOT of points. When the guy left, you took your card back and realized he made you enough points to get a burger. 😀 You then got the idea to start a Team based on one guy inadvertently playing BIG money on your Player's Club card and earning you enough points to get a burger. 😀

I don't think Nathan has the AP "it factor" to become an AP.

Heres one small test. Nathan, are you playing other -EV games in-between your loopholing times?

Before the advantage loophole, I was asking complete Strangers to play on my Player's Club card and getting free play, points, Comps, and getting Promotions that way before one day I made the HUGE mistake of asking someone to play on my Player's Club card TWICE(I forgot that I had ALREADY asked him to play on my Player's Club card ☢️😵‍💫) and he reported me the second time. I had found someone else who played on my Player's Club card and I got approached by some Casino Staff Members and Casino Security and told that I couldn't ask complete Strangers to play on my Player's Club card, banned for 24 hours, told of I ever asked another complete Stranger to play on my Player's Club card it would be a permanent banning, and perp walked out of the Casino. ☢️😵‍💫 I had gotten EXTREMELY greedy that day. I was already entitled to a FREE Entry to a Promotion because I am a Silver card, but I decided I wanted MORE Entries, so I asked complete Strangers to play on my Player's Club card. I definitely could have won the Promotion with my free entry but decided to get greedy and instead ended up with no entry for the promotion and banned for 24 hours. 😵‍💫☢️

I assume we're being played, and have been from the beginning ... now Nathan can post this kind of stuff knowing we're hooked and will see it. Of note? no pictures of any money

I propose everyone block her until we see some evidence. Axel, I nominate you to keep a lookout !!

I heavily thought about showing proof, but then thought if I show proof, I might just be setting up myself to be caught by the Casino. 💡🤔

From what Nathan has told me, there is, in fact, a loophole and I have come across similar things so I believe it's a legitimate exploitable situation. I think people are going to roll their eyes a bit when it ends and she discloses it. I still don't know how long it's taken her to win $3,300, I don't know if that was a lumpsum. lots of smaller wins or a few medium wins.

I will ask Nathan for her permission to compare it to somthing simular.

I mean, I don't know, if she figured this out herself and it's profitable, I think it's kind of clever given her situation.

Nathan asked me not to give a particular comparison as she thought it was too close to what she was actually doing. That in and of itself makes me believe she is more astute than we believe.

She said it was ok for this comparison...

If I were to compare it to something... I would compare it to a hot seat promotion where one was able to win by just having their card in a machine without having to play(the machines took an hour to time out), so that person accumulated 3 digits worth of cards over time and would leave their cards in machines during the promotion time.

Something changed and she noticed the change and and figured out how to exploit it.

There is an ethical aspect one might consider regarding this. I make no judgements but it's just something to note.

The "I used to have a positive EV," refers to me asking complete Strangers to play on my Player's Club card until one day I accidentally asked the same person TWICE to play on my Player's Club card and he reported me and I got kicked out and banned for 24 hours. I don't know how I forgot I already asked this guy to play on my Player's Club card. 😵‍💫☢️😱😳😬

That's good AP!

And what do you consider the ethics of AP? For me it's don't screw people you are working with, be respectful of all APs you encounter, do not assist casinos in countering AP. If she's not doing any of that it sounds good to me.

I personally don't take any issue with it.

But, here's an example of something someone might take issue with. Let's say the casino is having a drawing for $10,000 and they allow everyone a maximum of 2 tickets, but somehow you were able to find a loophole they gave you access to 50 tickets. Technically it's the casino money to begin with, but once they are giving it out, it's other people's money.

Again, I don't have a problem or issue with it as I have been involved in similar situations and even worse.

Just had a bunch of friends lose very elderly relatives. Assuming grandpa lived a good life, and found joy in his family (like you!), please celebrate his life rather than mourn his death. I hope that’s what my kids and grandkids do when I kick the bucket.

Had some ice cream from Publix, their Publix premium ice cream, French Vanilla. From the VERY first spoonful, it was off. It tasted like the Blue Bunny frozen dessert "ice cream,". My stool looked kind of greenish grayish, kind of like what happened when I ate Blue Bunny frozen dessert "ice cream." I looked at the carton and the carton said it was ice cream not frozen dessert but I coincidentally had VERY similar things happen with Blue Bunny frozen dessert "ice cream." 😵‍💫

Did the advantage loophole a few days ago. 😀 Won two times, 😀 and ALMOST won a third time. 💡 Player's Club Staff Member looked and sounded a bit suspicious, but I ended up losing the third time and that curbed suspicion. 💡 Like I said before, you WANT to lose too, not just win all the time. Winning all the time equals a LOT of possible suspicion, winning and losing equals not that much possible suspicion. 😀💡

I won roughly a $1,900 Jackpot (I got an unexpected Mystery Progressive Jackpot. 😀 and received a W2G form and filed it with my taxes! 😀 This is my first W2G form ever and it was extensive to tell you. ☢️💡I had to put the Cashier name/Number who processed the Jackpot and a LOT of other little things. As I filed my W2G Form I thought of how time consuming it would have been if I had about 20 W2G Forms to fill out. ☢️

Sounds like you just got the W-2G. So why would you be filing anything pursuant to it this year.

I mean in my case when I won a cash prize in a casino drawing they handed me the W-2G even before I could go to the casino cage to collect.

No, I got the Jackpot and the W-2G in October. 😀 I filed the W-2G with this year's taxes. 😀

Correct.

DRich remarked on that too but the difference is that I actually won and received the cash while many of the rest of you just talk about what you think should be.

Specifically it was a contest where a certain amount of Theo loss / play over a certain number of days equaled a certain number of tickets up to a maximum number. I won one of the top cash prizes (all prizes were cash) with just one ticket in the drum it was pretty amazing while many who maxed out won nothing.

Smart choice.
When I lived in Vegas, I was friendly with Funnybone, a top draw on the independent wrestling circuit. He had some tax issues a few years back, but he now keeps meticulous records. In 2018, he had over 500 1099s from shows and appearances, and he half-jokingly said he wrestles a week a year just to pay for his tax preparation.

I don't know that promo chips are/were obvious to anyone but you.

Of course, I have been in and won countless drawings and contests.

I have never been in a tournament or drawing that offered promo chips as a prize, it's usually cash, free play, or an actual prize, such as a car. Oftentimes they give you a cash option instead of the prize.

Regardless, of whatever type of payment I chose (even cash) if it was a contest, drawing, or promo they would normally give a 1099. There have been multiple times when I have been issued free play and there was no W2G or 1099 issued. There was one casino that was issuing 1099s for $100 free play wins.

As I said before, you know next to nothing about much to do with table games, especially any sort of high level action with regards to that, and prove it with your comments time and again.

I on the other hand know next to nothing about much to do with slots. Keep pushing dem buttons!

Actually on a recent small promo, I had a choice between 1200 in play 'til you lose chips on a table game, or 1200 in slots free play. I have been playing big enough that 1200 doesn't mean much of anything to me at the moment, so I just gave it to my wife. She pushed the buttons for a while, and then lost interest. I finished it off the next day. Net result was around 60% cash out. One thing I figured out or at least it seemed that way to me was that had to keep pushing the cash out button for a ticket every time it hit any payout, or else the payout was recycled / rolled into the free play bank and then couldn't be cashed out.

How or why are my comments wrong and or lack knowledge? Me thinks you need to use that standard BS line since you have nothing.

Are you claiming that drawings won from the table games department are treated differently than drawings won from the slot department when it comes to what forms they should be issuing to the winners?

One day at my job at Walgreens, a THIEF asked if we were hiring. The guy looked straight up sketchy and my Team Lead also looked wary of him as she responded,"No, we are not hiring." My Store Manager came up to the Thief and said,"Sir, please give me back the merchandise you have in your pocket and leave." The Thief gave back the item he was trying to steal and left. The AUDACIOUS AUDACITY of him to try to steal and then ask if we were hiring. ☢️😵‍💫😐🙄🤨😒 That was a new one for me as I had NEVER heard a Thief asking if we were hiring before.
