I don't see any reason to go into great detail over this because I have stated the truth many times about this type of situation.
You and I have similar backgrounds and I have been in Vegas since the early 90s so I know what the life is all about.
It certainly is nothing that these Forums or APs try to project.
DarkOz gives the more factual and realistic side of the lifestyle.
Family Members stealing from each other and everyone running 100s of player cards and fighting over money and plays.
Partners selling Players Cards and changing pin numbers or not paying back what they owe.
Players who play on Make-Up or Hourly who can never get ahead because they have some habit that leaks all the profit.
The usual habits like Drugs, Alcohol, Whoremongering, Stealing their friends girlfriend, Thievery, Making Bad Bets or playing way over their Bankroll thinking the gravy train will never stop... etc etc.
I told you before that Bagofshitbabs kept hinting at wanting me to bankroll her on any play that I needed help on but like I said I am not the Banker.
I don't mind going partners with someone at a true 50/50 split and invested.
This means if I put up 10k you better have 10k to put up as well and we both hammer the play till it is over win or lose.
That isn't her bag or isn't the style of most of the players on these forums.
Most of them are broke or looking to be sponsored but I have the feeling you already know and understand this.
If they aren't broke it is usually just a matter of time before they ran into something too big for them and they got felted or busted.
I can keep going on and on but like everything else in life WoV is just another scam.
Don't believe this bullshit that Rigondeaux is trying to preach about how most APs are honest and trying to help one another.
RS and the usual suspects preach that phony bullshit about how they are in a circle of friends holding hands singing Kumbaya all the time loving one another.
Bologna... this game is all about money and the best are the ones who have it and keep accumulating it by just about any means necessary.
If you don't have the mentality "kill or be killed" in this world they call AP you won't last long.
This whole idea that Advantage Players are something different compared to Scamblers or Scambling is just Cover which some of them are good at.
As I have said before... this isn't charity work or saving the world.
This whole thing is about money and the LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of all EVIL.
Most of these guys, if not all of them are like politicians.
They say one thing and do the other.
Personally I have given up the type of information a person needs to know to get started if they want to do it about as straight as you can.
However, it is a grind and it is hard work. Nothing is easy in this life or world.
10% or 25% plays do not fall out of the sky every single day 24 hours a day like these guys would have you believe.
This is why I am always talking about finding the 0.5% to 2% plays.
Those are getting thinner but they are still the fundamental building block of constantly winning.
As time goes on you will move up and find better spots but the easier it gets the more you will have to compromise any type of moral compass you may have.
I could go on and on but I have posted all about it many times before.
When I posted the Hot Sucker Thread those guys hated it and still hate it but they couldn't do anything about it cause this site is the real deal.
Not like that phony bullshit that Shack runs so they can advertise and trap the suckers into online gambling.
I remember showing a play on here that still exists.
I have been playing it for over 4 years and I am guessing it has been around much longer, 10 to 20 years most likely.
It is still at the 1, 2 and 5 dollar levels.
It pays a solid 1% plus food.
Too many lock ups at the 5 dollar level so I play lower.
However it is a grind and the swings are in the 4k to 8k range.
I prefer 80k cash to mess with this but realistically you don't need that much.
The point is when I showed this play all I heard was how bad it was and that you will go broke playing that game.
MC defended me and the play and another guy actually found it and played it.
Not sure if he still plays it but I don't see why not since it is the best play in the house IMO.
People don't want to grind hours into things like this... they want the fast easy money.
To each their own.
