I asked this in another thread but perhaps it wasn’t seen. Steve talks about people buying multiple books and supposedly abusing the coupons. I bought four books this year. Next year I was planning on buying a few more.
At what point has someone crossed from educated consumer to coupon abuser?

abuse defined is multiple use of match play coupons, which put the casinos at a disadvantage and the player into a positive expectation.
They don’t like to lose.
The coupon is to get you in there to play, and then continue to play and lose.

If you’re going to use them, be discreet, but it does lessen the chance of repeat business for the ACG, if they tally up and find too many coupons in a short time.

The casino’s position is one book per person, one for the wife or friend.

This is one reason coupon trading is frowned upon by other publishers, like the LVA.

Counterfeit coupons are a problem for casinos, and may be considered a big no no by their management. Don’t even think about it.

You know there’s something I notice that I don’t seem to get. abuse is an advantage to the gambler and not the casino right? Why is it wrong for gamblers to have an advantage on the casinos?
