Am I getting heat---- I don't count yet

[Bullfrog]

Just curious, the other day I went into a casino and asked for a $1000 marker
and gave the pit boss my players card. A short while later someone showed up and asked for my drivers license they said something about the computer
not giving them proper information. I gave the license and all was good in the world and I got my chips.
I play bs and am practicing KO while learning I have been winning $300-$400
a day last trip. I've won maybe 12 out of the last 15 trips. I've come to the conclusion this is just luck and I probably will have to pay the casino back when my luck changes. Am I getting heat for winning?

They could have been sweating your wins if it is a small casino, but more likely they needed to confirm your personal information in order to fill out their paperwork. Normally a $1,000 transaction doesn’t require anything special but if you make several transactions or they recognize you are a regular they might be playing it safe. Usually a daily transaction of $3k or more will trigger a MRT form and maybe a SAR. If your daily cash transaction exceeds $10k then they need more info like your social security number for a CTR form. These forms are required by Federal law so the casinos usually like to get your information before they actually need it for the paperwork. They also like to know who is buying their markers.

I'm going to say they wanted more updated info for the marker in case you decide to flake on them.

I'm surprised they would give you a $1,000 marker just on your players card. Any marker I've ever taken required a photo id.

I have taken markers, in several states.
Never have I been asked for photo I.D.

Although your net win is not large, they are consistent.
casinos will take notice of your winning most of the time,
and surveillance will run periodic skill checks on you.

I was once 86'd for winning on 14 of 15 consecutive 2 and 3 day trips.
I had backed down to betting a fraction of my usual action;
I just couldn't bring myself to "book a loss" on purpose.

Whats to prevent one from picking up a discarded players card and asking for a marker on it. Most casinos won't even let you redeem a $ 10 cash back coupon without a photo id. In fact, Harrahs won't even tell you how much you have in comps without a photo id.

If the pit does not know you, or credit needs to update

I only keep a credit line at two casinos. At both I have been asked for my ID at times when requesting a marker. If they do not need new info and the pit knows who you are, you will not be asked for ID, so my best guess was the pit did not know you and had to verify that your ID and players card matched.

I agree with ihate17 on this one - the pit simply wanted to verify who you were etc.

Re getting "heat" - I think that's unlikely at the levels of winning you mention - unless this is some tiny casino in the middle of nowhere.

Wait, what were you saying earlier about ratholing?

lol!

What I said about ratholing I stand behind 100%

"Booking a loss" has nothing to do with ratholing.

Best advice, where possible, is to move on to (other) green pastures if you have a large accumulated win.
