The book may have lost money in and of itself, but I'm sure that led to making money with his software, classes, and other various things.
Bob has always said he filed taxes as a professional gambler. In order to do that then the majority of his income had to have been from gambling, not from selling products. I personally don't think there is that much money in it. Frank Kneeland told me he didn't make any money on his book either.
I was curious about book sales so asked questions of both Dancer and Kneeland who were both pushing me to write a book to be published by the publisher for Las Vegas Adviser (can't remember the name). But after collecting some information, as Coach would put it, I said to hell with that. I'm not wasting all that time and energy for nothing. I've given a lot of the information away in the forums.
I have no doubt he's made significantly more from Advantage play than he has the other stuff. I would be very surprised if he wasn't making a decent amount from all the other stuff by now, especially with the classes. And I have no clue and I'm just talking out my ass. If he's doing all this other stuff for pennies, God bless him.
He once wrote an article about having a 40K a year contract to consult with one of the chain casinos and how he lost the gig. Said he only had to do about a months work for it.
