I think everyone who comes to a discussion about casinos is looking for information that will help them personally. The theory is all well and good, but it's the practical advice and information that is what each of us really cares about. I don't care about the "long term macro economics of casino gambling." I care whether or not I am going to win -- or get wiped out. What you are talking about is the long term macro economics of casino play. Rob's advice actually relates more to me, and I think this is why he has his followers.

The reality is that even on a positive expectation game you can't win all the time. And that's really the #1 practical tip people should get along with take the money and run when you are ahead. However, your long term macro economics says that's wrong.

Do you see and appreciate the conflict here? Im not a long term macro piece of the puzzle. Nor can I think or behave like one.
