Kewlj continues as kewlj has always continued and wrote ""Regular gamblers" is another way of saying degenerate gamblers."

No, and try to understand this. Regular gamblers are the millions of people who go to casinos to try their luck and fully understand that the odds are against them.

Not everyone is an AP, kewlj. The world doesn't hate APs either.

There is no harm in taking a hundred dollars, playing for example 20 hands of video poker, and then pausing to count what you have.

What is the harm in doing that?

If after 20 hands you have $140, you might cash out the ticket and return to play with $40 at 25-cents. Or, if after your 20 hands you have $70 and then you say "let's go eat."

What's the harm in that?

While I don't know or understand most of what Rob does, THIS PART makes perfect sense.
