I can't get them 100%.
I haven't said anything while this has been mentioned a number of times, but as an AP, when I place wagers at the BJ tables or anything else I do while playing with an advantage, I don't like the term "gambled". This is where I differential between players playing with an advantage and players playing -EV, which is what I consider gambling. Now I do place some sports wagers, mostly during football season and college basketball tournament season. THAT is my gambling. It is -Ev and is my entertainment.

Now, you and Rob seem to be discussing money put into action, mine at an advantage and his, a whole lot of voodoo type -EV gambling.

So I don't know what you guys are comparing. It isn't apples to oranges, it is apples to moon rocks or something.

And if someone is trying to make some sort of point that I don't put massive amounts of money into play, well show me where I ever said I did. I am a mid-level AP, grinder type AP. I never claimed to be any kind of high end player. But it does add up.

Playing a spread of $25 / $50 to mostly around $500 (max bet) for many years and double that the past couple (covid years), I would guess my average wager was in the $100 to $125 range and is double that now. And playing 60,000-80,000 rounds annually (fewer now), well you can do the math....it works out to 8-9 million a year put into action @ a 1% advantage. And guess what that is exactly what I have averaged a year.

I am only speaking for myself, but I am just not impressed by people betting more than me (singer, Mdog), but playing -EV, which means they are losing over the long run, despite what they claim. If THAT is supposed to impress me, it misses the mark.
And what were the odds that the moment kew and his concocted "I'm a pro bj player who wins every year" came into question again, that he'd be compelled to hobble thru his bevy of lies yet AGAIN?
