Alan, I thank you for your 'advice' on how to generate income as a professional blackjack player.

In the 8 years since I have lived and played Vegas fulltime I have earned a profit of over $781,000 from advantage play, $587,000 of that from blackjack play. Being that YOU have earned $0 profit from advantage play ("never had a winning year"), you will forgive me if I keep doing it my way....which actually isn't "my way" at all, but the way all successful blackjack advantage players operate.

As far as your pension plan. Good for you. Sincerely, I am happy you have a nice retirement. You are 70 years old and I am half that. Don't compare where we are at in our retirement financial position.
