Have you ever been kicked out when you didn't have an advantage?

The first time that I got backed of from a casino when playing blackjack I did not have an advantage. However I was playing at the Bonana Casino at a $1 minimum table and I had a bet spread between $1 and $20 I was having a good session and won $75 and I got backed of in 45 minutes of play. At this point in time I had never read a book about blackjack and I would go with my gut on plays like 16 vs a 7 a play I thought at the time was a close call. I know now that play isn't even close and it is 12% better to hit than to stay.
I have been backed off two other times, since the first time. Those times I actually think that I had an advantage over the house and I think those where smarter backoffs.

I know back than I had disadvantge!

Back on my first back off at the bonaza casino I did not have an advantage today I'm confident that I do have an edge at blackjack. The only reason why I got kicked out of the Bonana Casino was because of my wild bet spread that didn't have much to do with the count. Even if I was betting with the count my playing stragedy was so poor that I gave back my entire advantage.

I was just talking to an aquantince who goes to vegas semi-regularly, and he was once tossed from the Barbary Coast a few years ago when he was on a drunken lucky streak.

Not me, any time I've had adverse action, it's been thoroughly deserved.

The combination of winning and spreading has never been tolerated at the Barbaric Coast.
