Harry,You're right about that.I hated making trip after trip to AC and losing.
For me advantage play means VP with a positive EV which you won't find in AC.And if you want to include cash back and comps,It's getting harder since casinos here are constantly cutting back on what they're giving out.

Marc,
Certainly you're among the more schizophrenic players I've encountered ...
You demonstrate that you not only grasp the underlying math, but fully accept it. Yet, rather than trust the math, like an intrepid surfer you seek out a wave of good hands that will make you a winner.
But i get that this is what works for you (so far), and there's little that's going sway you into abandoning this play style.

Most 5-coin players accept that vp is largely a losing game over the medium haul until they pull ahead with a 800:1 payout RF. You continually put yourself at risk that when you hit, it'll be a 250:1 (or other shortcoin) payoff. Bottom line, this risk, inherent in your play, is what will make your game a losing one in the not so long run.
