They didn't ban him from cheating, he just has a massive bankroll and when he gets hot it's a pain for the casino to pay out
This is almost the identical folly that saved me from possible gambling problems and happened when I was in my late teens. I was playing a game at a carnival for a big bear for my girlfriend and some how got into this double the bet and walk away as a winner. Cleaned me out of $80 in one game and taught me a lesson. Now I set a limit and look at it as the cost of entertainment.
I dated a girl who wanted to go to Niagara for some casino fun. She told me she liked gambling but didn't have a problem. She went to the tables and I did my thing - allocated $20 and headed for the slots. My idea is to try different ones and amuse myself until the $20 is gone. I got lucky and I was riding $60 before it went down to $40 and I stopped. This is where her perspective and mine were different. I joined her at her table to watch and told her what happened - she couldn't understand if I was winning - why did I walk away ?
I watched her hit the ATM twice before I convinced her to leave the table and join me for dinner.I do buy lottery tickets - actually one for a particular draw. Gamblers would see this as pure folly because of the odds but I don't look at it like that. I'm buying a dream for the cost of a burger. I don't expect tp win but as long as I have ticket - I have a chance. So for that period until the draw, I can dream of exotic women and vacation locations. Well worth the $5 for me.

Worst one was a woman was so nervous that she was shaking and couldn't sign the winning ticket. She asked her son to sign it for her, and he claimed the entire prize, and blew all the money.

One of my previous wives was addicted to gambling. I found a lot of "jackpot" stickers from the slots in her car, but she would never leave with money.This is almost the identical folly that saved me from possible gambling problems and happened when I was in my late teens.

He wasn't
Yes it is, however, it is the young ones that get addicted to all the bells and lights, not we clever and smart seniors.
Re doubling up on gambling bets. This is supposed to be a true story. Golfer Lee Trevino a played golf game with a rich guy at a private course. They decided to play for $ and they decided 25 cents a hole, double up on carry overs. Trevino had to give him strokes and then intentionally tied every hole.How much was the bet on the 18th hole??? Figure it out. Moral of this story, never gamble on anything with strangers.LOL.
Sometimes in Las Vegas I sit at the online multi-player BJ machines and play $1/$5 bets with my Starbucks & drink and ear buds in just to start the day. The machine keeps track of last hand history ( like on Roulette) for 20 hands. I've seen the dealer hit 17 to 21 many times 15 hands in a row. Those are not random generated machines ! Just watch on the sidelines for a dealer streak of 10 to 15 wins and a row and then come in, he's likely to start busting . . .

I think most non-live dealer casino games, in person or on-line, are programmed with a much higher house edge than the live games. That's why they allow such low minimum bets on the machine games.Sometimes in Las Vegas I sit at the online multi-player BJ machines and play $1/$5 bets with my Starbucks & drink and ear buds in just to start the day.
