There's are very good (& typical) example of AP and famous name brainwashing about progressives being "playable at 100%+" over on vpFREE right now.

Some probably obscure and confused out-of-town visitor is asking how high a royal has to be in order to be "playable"....or at least 100% theoretically on 7/5 BP. Of course, dummies like this probably buys all the Bob Dancer and Jean Scott junk and believes every word they write, and is obviously totally incapable of thinking for himself. He also very likely could have been led astray by Frank Kneeland and his unrealistic view of how to play progressives for profit.

Why? Because the concept of teams chasing progressives for a profit is flawed enough on its own; then just think of how much a misled ploppy like that poster would be improperly influenced by believing if the royal is at 100% then they have more of an opportunity to come out a winner than if they played it when the royal was lower and the game well under 100%! No one sits down forever at any game, and for over 95% of all players who sit at progressives, they will end up losing their shirts UNLESS they hit that royal. And how often do you think THAT occurs....

How and why people are so dumb that they're so easily misled into believing this nonsense, rests squarely on the shoulders of people who rope these poor players into their web of deceit for the purpose of buying the junk and books they peddle so very shamelessly.
