I think the percentage would be very high. Remember, this practice is normal in every other industry, but for some reason in the AP field it is considered a sin.

For example, I know a casino that receives pre shuffled cards for their baccarat game. They take off the plastic wrapper, remove them from the box, then have a player cut them. Straight into the shoe they go. No shuffle, no riffle, no nothing.


So as far as doing work for the dark side being a sin:
I do wonder how much of it is AP’s dislike for the casino industry, primarily for being predatory? VS. because it screws over AP’s by providing the casinos info.
Because if it is solely the latter, this happens in every industry and it is accepted.

Like I said, I wouldn’t do work for a casino, primarily due to my dislike for casino practices.
Anyway, back to the percentages of AP’s that would do work if asked, I believe it’s well over 50%. If the AP’s are in a bad financial situation, I believe over 80%.
You are right. I'm sure guys who are very top of game have far less chance as would people with skills outside of APing. A lot of APs don't have much else to do. A casino job wouldn't seem half bad.. especially if part time consulting. Don't even have to give up APing.
