I'm going to repeat something that's been said over a 100 times so I hope it sinks in this time. The chance you'll loose on a negative VP game is LARGER than the chance you'll win. So what is it you'll do with those winnings you pocketed? You'll save them for another day and eventually loose them to the same negative VP game. That's how simple it is. I know you would really like to believe differently but those casino's weren't built on enthousiasm......

The only way to beat a negative VP game over time is true LUCK, nothing more nothing less. Nobody I know has been lucky consistantly over a period of ten years. So if you ask me, is it possible? My answer would be: anything is possible (as Cooper said in season five of the succesful Las Vegas tv series). BUT chances are as small as being hit by lightning.
