I think for most winning gamblers that not staying in one's lane is a recipe to fail in many different ways.
According to one of his articles. Dancer has recently taken up advantage slot play. He wouldn't name the games but gave a little info on how they play. Easy guess for me is he's playing high denom Regal Riches and Hexbreaker 3's. He says he learned the plays from someone that is very good at advantage slot play.

He should do very well at it. And he might learn that AP'ing slots if worth more money and a lot less work.

The specific thing I took exception to was Dancer recommending dabbling in sports betting as if it were something that was easily amenable to statistical analysis. It's one thing to take advantages of bonuses and bonus whore yourself as much as possible if a recession squeezes other forms of APing. It's another to think a game of opinion can be beaten in the same way that video poker or blackjack can be beaten. If Stu Ungar couldn't beat sports, why would any non-specialist think they can beat sports? This whole sharps/squares lingo fosters the illusion that sports is generally beatable. It's not.
Unger couldn't beat blackjack either. And it was a beatable game. He was a degenerate gambler with no expertise in sportsbetting.
