Congrats to KewlJ. I believe him and hope he crosses the million dollar threshold only one more time.

The annual Blackjack Hall of Fame party in Las Vegas hosts around 100 guests, and the majority have won over $1 million lifetime from advantage play.

Actually, I don't think Ed Thorp has won this much, because he quit gambling in the 1960's and started successful hedge funds. Don Johnson won $15 million in one year. Zeljko Ranogajec paid hundreds of millions (Australian dollars) on his gambling winnings. After playing on a team with Ken Uston, Blair Hull founded Hull Trading, got bought out by Goldman Sachs, and narrowly lost a 2004 U.S. Senate race to a newbie named Barak Obama. This stuff is public knowledge, and these guys all got their start in blackjack.
Here is the kicker. These guys all played with each other, or friends of friends, splitting profit. So they know they are profitable. They proved it to their teammates, and many partners along the way. Needless to say, most of the party guests are unwelcome at certain casino games. Some have been barred or had benefits restricted at machine play, including Robert Singer's inspirational namesake Bob Dancer. I'd say these guys have proven their prowess.
So Mr. Singer, how many casinos have banned you? After selling books for years, when are you going to show your records?
