I am sure you guys that have been around forever <-, experienced better times and conditions. But you have to remember this was always a supplemental thing for me. One of the best examples of that was 2012 I think, maybe 2013. Very bad year for me, playing blackjack. I made 27k, vs expectation or EV of I think 87k. 27k, or less than 1/3 of expectation. So the 22k I made from supplemental VP play, kept that year from being a disaster for me.
And that is the way I have always looked at it...supplemental. Kind of diversifying just a little bit.
