Actually, where the AP's lose me, every time. Nobody with all of that is going to move to Vegas to become a casino AP. Yes, a few of the professional poker players thus adapted college or whatever degrees, but, the difference is that, unlike the thus blackjack authors, they were allowed to cycle through their bankrolls.

KJ turned out to be only another reminder of what happens to the others who do. I mean, again, I've yet to run into a casino AP that isn't functionally illiterate, however. Persons who think that it's the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow".
FYI, very few are actually moving to Las Vegas to become Advantage Players. There are so many gambling locations nowadays that the can find something near where they currently live and travel when necessary.

I know quite a few people who have the following, a good education, a former/current good-paying job, and a bunch of money to get started that got into advantage play. There has been a big influx over the past 4-6 years. One of the smartest people I have ever met has been doing Advantage Play and doing well. He could make serious money just by coding, programming, computer stuff, etc.

Another very smart guy with an impressive background who turned to Advantage Play and has/does very well. Romes.
Don't forget you're former protege, the Asian gangster Djatc.
