Well, those that can, do, and those that can't whine about it, or
publish. Dude, not only is this a real job, it's a very lucrative one.
If you can't understand that, no problem, but don't hate on it
because you can't process it at a professional level. Again, your
hobby, my business. I don't torch plays as a general rule, but all
that means is that someone will if I don't, so I tend to be tight
lipped about it. It tends to maximize MY return from VP.
There's a great story from the midwest several years ago where the
casino put in some super pay All American, the 103% version. It was
likely a mistake. A Vegas pro got a phone call and headed to the game
and started camping out. A couple of locals got the genius idea to out
the pro and the play to Slot Ops. Guess what happened next? Everyone
got restricted by the casino, and the game got taken out.
The quoted passage here only proves my point. You, like most gamblers,
want it all your way. This much I understand, but to couch what you
say as a recreational activity doesn't even pass the smile test. You
want a recreational activity, try macrame. Part of the reason you
enjoy VP is the fact you're competing with the house. That much is
fine, but as much as I'm not the only VP player on the planet, but
neither are you (where's Tom Robertson when I need him?). Have a nice
life.
