I can't get them 100%.
I haven't said anything while this has been mentioned a number of times, but as an AP, when I place wagers at the BJ tables or anything else I do while playing with an advantage, I don't like the term "gambled". This is where I differential between players playing with an advantage and players playing -EV, which is what I consider gambling. Now I do place some sports wagers, mostly during football season and college basketball tournament season. THAT is my gambling. It is -Ev and is my entertainment.
Now, you and Rob seem to be discussing money put into action, mine at an advantage and his,
a whole lot of voodoo type -EV gambling. :rolleyes:
So I don't know what you guys are comparing. It isn't apples to oranges, it is apples to moon rocks or something. :confused:
And if someone is trying to make some sort of point that I don't put massive amounts of money into play, well show me where I ever said I did. I am a mid-level AP, grinder type AP. I never claimed to be any kind of high end player. But it does add up.
Playing a spread of $25 / $50 to mostly around $500 (max bet) for many years and double that the past couple (covid years), I would guess my average wager was in the $100 to $125 range and is double that now. And playing 60,000-80,000 rounds annually (fewer now), well you can do the math....it works out to 8-9 million a year put into action @ a 1% advantage. And guess what that is exactly what I have averaged a year. :cool:
I am only speaking for myself, but I am just not impressed by people betting more than me (singer, Mdog), but playing -EV, which means they are losing over the long run, despite what they claim. :rolleyes: If THAT is supposed to impress me, it misses the mark.
