There's a good reason I quit at the peak of my career and didn't milk it for another 10 years. If you get that, you will understand how alike we are.Originally Posted by kewlJ
Eliot, you make it very difficult to not dislike you. (double negative)
How can you even begin to compare AP's to the casino industry? Cheaters...maybe, but that is not APing to me. AP's play the games, the casino's games by the casino's rules and win. Who are they hurting? Maybe the casinos bottom line just a hair. You will forgive me if I don't shed a tear over that.
Now the casino industry is the single most predatory industry I can think of. Let's look at some of their practices. Filling players with free drinks so they will make bad decisions and lose all their money, even more than they intended to play and lose. Cashing checks right there at the casino, paychecks, Govt checks like tax refund, used to even be social security checks before they went to direct deposit. This is done so the recipient, including the father with his paycheck lose all their money before they ever make it home to pay the rent and buy groceries and cloths for the kids.
I can list more, but will stop here. Why anyone would want to help this predatory industry, other than monetary reasons (your own pay day) is beyond me.
So take your "casinos have just as much right to the information" BS and shove it.
I was nauseous with disgust at everything about the industry ... players, casinos, AP's, security, table games companies, just f&%ing everything and everyone. This board is a perfect example of how f&%ed up most AP's are, yet I'm supposed to think they somehow are superior humans. I know many cases where APs have sold other APs out in a heartbeat if there was competition from the other team. It's disgusting behavior, at best. Yet it is the very mentality you think is better than casinos.
KewlJ, I have followed you for over a decade, and know pretty much exactly who you are as an AP, believing everything you post about yourself (unlike many others here), believing your methodologies and results. So, you choose this brotherhood, do you really like most of these people? Think about that before you go belittling those on the casino side.
I have friends on both sides of the table. Good friends. I get multiple emails every day from folks on both sides, asking favors and analysis. I never hesitate to respond honestly and everything is free. I take my shots from both sides when they come and they come every day. So, you can think casinos are evil and your pals are righteous, or you can take a step back and assess humans trying to go through life as best they can given they are living in the days that the collapse of everything is making just f&&ktastic. You can choose to just be kind and generous, or you can choose to be something else. That's the choice.
