Everyone has a story, no one has logs of anything. Everyone runs their mouth and make claims about how much they make but nothing to back it up. Everyone makes a shit ton of money but EVERYONE and i mean EVERYONE needs some form of a team to make money. I know of no one who came to vegas like i did and made it alone. Every single one of these faggots in this industry that people either worship and think is a good AP, all needed a network to make their money. Who the fuck has done it alone? Who?
Let's start off with the degenerate youtubers betting 10k a hand thinking they're winning players but are actually just more degenerate pathological trash. These guys without their youtube channels would be living under a bridge. It just goes to show you the state of society that we live in. If at any point you want to know the current intelligence of a civilization, look at the music, media, and entertainment outlets that get the most attention, that will tell you where peoples brains are. Let's keep making stupid people famous whether its youtube, onlyfans, or nigger music, it will tell you everything.
Here another one. Look at these forums and discords. Littered with scammers and degenerates. They're all alcholics, potheads, donks, and scammers. These guys will make thousands of claims about how much money they make, but no logs to show for it. The guys who probably make a little bit of money on there are once again all part of teams. 99% of this industry would be on MLK boulevard in a tent somewhere without their mouths and pathological lies. Without a network, id even lift the percentage to 99.9% of people couldnt make it. Its a massive wannabe industry full of storytellers and scamming degenerate trash. Whether its slots or table games, i have yet to meet anyone in the casino or the forums who didnt have some form of addiction or degenerate tendencies, which explains why none of them could make it alone.
What about the book writers, podcasters, and seminar conductors? Dont even get me started on that. It's easy to expose them too. A lot, if not all of them were wannabes or degenerates who similar to the youtube guys, use it as a platform to make additional or all of their money. Those who can do, those who cant teach, write books, conduct seminars, and run bootcamps. You see, it's all fine and dandy to write books or run a podcast for legacy or because you're retired and want to share the wealth, but heres how you expose that they're not doing it for those reasons. If it's for legacy, why are you charging for it? Aren't you already so accomplished, you dont need the money? You see, these guys are doing it for the money, not to help people. You think guys like grosjean wrote 'Beyond counting" for legacy purposes? His magical plays were worth so much that hes willing to basically, but not completely teach you basically everything about it other than actually doing it, which through a bit of networking anyone can do. He's not only bringing attention to the plays at a wide scale, but then teaching you about how much all of it is worth. Guys that write for legacy purposes and not financial purposes dont charge 3k for a book. Guys that actually make money off these plays dont teach the whole world about it, unless you're already retired, which he isnt. This goes for all the blackjack counting authors as well. You think any of these guys are special? Stanford Wong? Ken Uston? Arnold Snyder? What the fuck did they ever do solo? Ken was basically a drunk and drug addict who was said to have lost more than hes won, but of course you wont hear about that, it wont sell movies and documentaries. Arnold also was said he didnt make anything. RIP to both of them as they did contribute to the sharing of counting information and simulations, but lets not kid ourselves about their actual talent and if they should be respected as APs. It's much easier to write about theory than actually conducting it as ill get into below about the traits of an AP. What about the seminar guys? These guys are probably the scummiest of people. These people were mostly given the information and then said fuck you and tried profiting off others people info. Not only do they not make money off the plays like these book writers and podcasters, but they also double cross the guys who initially helped them.
You see, no one has the whole package is what it comes down to. Im not perfect either, but Im sure as hell better than the trash I've seen so far doing this. It all boils down to this. Someone could be really talented, but doesnt have the money. Someone can have the money, but no talent. Someone can have the money and the talent, but just a complete degenerate donk with no discipline. The combination of these traits is no where to be seen in this industry. If it wasnt for team play, slots, and lies to scam the fuck out of newbies, this whole industry would be under a bridge, if not already. Its just sad, but maybe I'm at fault for at one point thinking there was actually someone like me who has excelled at all things gaming in their life and expected the same out of the rest of the world, not realizing I was entering into a so called 'community' littered with guys who all they have is a 'story' to tell after they donked everything away. I guess I didnt give myself enough credit that I was in fact the unicorn surrounded by a world full of pathological degenerate trash.
Let this be a warning to any people wanting to become an AP. Believe no one and dont work with anyone. You see a lot of these guys doing team play do it out of desperation, not as a way of scaling or needing more heads to scale their income. There are very few opportunities out there and in the past where it was actually beneficial to have needed multiple people to carry it out. Theres always an agenda behind every so called team more so than not. If the guy was good enough, he couldve likely done it himself, but the guy was likely broke and needed team funds. Stop working with people and let these people die off and go work at mcdonalds or better yet sleep on the streets.
There is no community. There are no friends. This is the one industry where you should trust NO ONE and I mean no one. The people you meet in the casino are not far off from the people online, if not almost identical. People just want money out of you. It's a soulless and immoral industry. You're only as good as the money you can make them. If you're actually good enough theres enough data out there to get you started. If you have any ounce of intelligence, discipline, and creativity; you will make it. If you dont, well dont worry, the whole industry doesnt either and you'll fit right in amongst the trash that couldnt make it alone.
Pce wannabes
