Casinos don't have a stop loss... except the ones that go bankrupt. Yes, even casinos lose. There's one facing bankruptcy now on Sahara just west of the Strip. They used their stop loss and closed last week... or did you forget?
Of course the casinos can go bankrupt. But the closures you are referring to are made via quarterly earnings decisions, not by some hard stop loss because a whale hit some daily threshold.
the point is this: if casinos can go bankrupt what chance do I have?

Sorry, I don't play for the long term. I can't afford to. When you are playing theoretical games you can play for as long as you like. When you are playing with real money you have to think about what you're doing. You guys must all be very rich.
