You should do that, you'll probably fit in well with the French.

Vince was on Ghost Hunters in Vegas.

Ask him why Frank Sinatra felt up his wife.

That's not quite true, Sinatra felt up me!

I hope you realize casinos make offerings like that to the people they consider their biggest losers.
A casino offers a player a percentage of the theoretical loss they are expecting him to incur.
While some people are indeed able to game the casino comp system, the vast majority end up losing more than they would like, playing to insure their future comps.
Two great books on abusing casino comps are Comp City by Max Rubin, and The Frugal Gambler by Jean Scott. i've used techniques from these books to my advantage for over a decade.
