I have to question why people exaggerate their numbers to try to make their points. I have never made $200k a year playing blackjack. I have never made $150k a year playing blackjack. I have made $120k a year playing blackjack exactly once and over $100k playing blackjack only twice
Okay, let me rephrase my comment above. Just because the math says Kewlj should make 25K this year playing blackjack, the math crystal ball can't confirm he will with any confirmed facts upfront. He could end up winning 50K, or losing 50K. The math can't confirm what any results might be at the end of any given year he did the math for involving gambling.
If you don't like KJ's math you won't like mine. I'm pissed if I break even for the day. I'm used to booking a mid 3 figure win everyday. But what I do is much different than what KJ does. I never have cared for the thin edge stuff like blackjack. I like the big edges. If you do it like I do it then its payday everyday. There are just no real downswings.

I'd put my average edge at around 15%. That sounds like a lot and it would be if I could run say 10K a day in wager. But that's not how it works. In order to keep the edge up I have to be very picky about the plays I put down. That means I might get in a 2K to 4K wager a day. And even then I don't win on every play. But when I put down 15 to 30 plays a day the minority of plays I lose on are well covered by the majority of plays that are winners.

And actually this is all in the past because I'm pretty much retired now. Not by choice but by health. But that's how it was when I was doing it.
