So the count was positive and he still lost $8800? I find that to be alarming for a card counter to do. Even if it was his best day for accumulating +EV he lost the $8800. Is that something that earns a title at a card counters convention?
In the real world it makes no sense. Perhaps in the AP world it does. But trust me when I say the world operates on "real world rules" and not on "AP rules" like you forum experts think it does.
Some of your AP claims have gone off the deep end. I remember when mickeycrimm was hunting for those ready to hit progressives on low denomination machines in Montana bars. Now he's earning $68k net profit by mid August.
Allow me to be skeptical. I had a very successful news career being skeptical. As we say in the consumer protection business "when something sounds too good to be true it probably is too good to be true."
