Would it be illegal for me to post a ticket to an event on stubhub for an absurd markup, and then buy it myself with a credit card to rack up points? Nothing about this seems criminal, but it seems too easy…
A better option would be to buy those $1 gold coins from the US govt (with no shipping) using a credit card that earns points. Take the coins to the bank, pay off credit card, rinse, repeat.
This is the equivelant of counting cards i.e. cc companies/casinos encourage people to run these “scams” because 99% of the time the plan backfires. Not many people have the discipline to not use all that cash that was taken out on your card or to hold off on hand when the count is not in your favor.
These days, the bit boss is often not even in the loop. The men in suits will be behind you before the pit boss knows what is going on. It’s all the eye in the sky. And it doesn’t happen the very second they notice, They don’t like to leave a bad taste for the actual gamblers at the table.
