I would think a nice route like you have would be perfect for it.
Not overdoing it, only 2 or 3 more cards for each casino on your route?
If you ever retire, will you sell your “route”?
I made a decision early on to stay away from anything that might compromise my position in the casinos. I try to stay as legal as possible while using legitimate strategy and all available information. That's enough money for me. I've only lost a few casinos in 26 years.
And I'm already retired. Lots of retiree's gravitate toward gambling. They move to locations like Las Vegas so they can be around the gambling everyday. The old codger is in the poker room and his ol' lady is in the bingo hall.
Now, what about someone that's been an advantage gambler for a few decades? What does he/she retire too? Staying at home and looking at 4 walls? Move to Corn Junction, Iowa and watch the corn grow?
I don't think there is such a thing as a gambler "retiring from gambling." Like I said people retire from their jobs so they can go gamble. Why would an advantage gambler stop making bets? I can't think of a single reason other than death.
These days, at my age, I call it casino vacations. I don't play off all the EV I see because I don't want a job anymore. But I play off enough. I just mosey around and pick off a little EV here and there, enjoy the restaurants, free rooms and concerts. The only difference between the gambling retiree's and me is I know how to turn a profit at it.
And casinos aren't the only things I do. I also do national parks, state parks, scenic byways, historical districts, historical graveyards, etc. I love the motor touring and the casinos are on the routes.
