At foxwoods there were several times I was doing pretty well in Sp21 and some asian people starting backbetting me because they saw that I was "lucky". Then, they got pissed when I was doing some of the non-obvious (but still correct) Sp21 B.S. and index plays. Since they are so much less obvious than in blackjack (such as when I hit a 14v5), I've found people at tables to get even more pissed, especially when they back-bet me. So then someone backbet me I just gave them a warning that "sometimes I play a little risky!" not for their benefit, but just so I don't have to hear them complain if I lose while making the correct play.
You guys at FW, you!

I strongly suspect that one of the main reasons that backlining got cut at FW was because the dealers and floor personnel couldn't handle it...

MGM Dealers
It is a fact. MGM has lost 300 dealers since the union was forced on the dealers. Many have gone to Pa and Delaware. Some have left the industry. Dealer pay was in the $50,000 year range and they lost almost $15,000. year. A new class from their dealer school just started this week.melbedewy said:

I was talking with an ex foxwoods dealer the other day. he gave me this reason for the removal of the rule:
There had been numerous situations in which players would get hostile during backlining situations. PCs and security were being overwhelmed with handling and cooling down situations of backliners getting abusive with the players, and outright extortion coming from players with a rich backliner. "gimme $500 right now, or else I'm hitting my hard 19." frankly, the ex dealer was happy to see the rule go.

There is a HUGE difference between APs and thugs/lowlifes. The only people that don't make the distinction between the two are casino personnel.melbedewy said:
