If I walk into the Wynn in Vegas and win at a rate that is out of the norm over a long period of time, they'll "politely" show me the door.
I know there are dozens or reasons this is probably a bad idea (opening the door for a variety of unintended consequences) but tracks are NEVER going to catch up to those taking an edge. They have to approach it in a different way if they want to eradicate the obvious offenders.

Goodness knows Andy can shed more light on this than I, Phantom, and I know your question is for him. But, how could this be pulled off without concrete proof? This amounts to, guilty before proven innocent, no? A total about face of what we are based on. Just throwing it in.
