I understand you guys WANT it to be that winning very consistently with a high Net Win on -EV machines cannot happen, and I understand WHY you want it to be that way. But to me it is a moot point, because I've already done it for over 10 years. And as the only true expert on the strategy, I've also already said that almost everyone who wanted to play it exactly as written will also be a consistent Net Winner.

Where you're stuck is in the untrue and illogical simplified position that says play positive games and you should win, but play negative games and you WILL lose. I'll say it again, you all know you can win on a -EV machine today; then why can't you comprehend that it can happen tomorrow, the next day, and the next day etc. too? When you play vp, you are not taking a math test out of a prepared book. If it were intended to be that way, then we'd all be choosing perfect robots to go into the casinos to play the games for us.
