The obvious difference in all this is very very simple to deduce: people with jobs are proven money-makers, while people who claim to make money gambling as AP's are largely seen as being as honest as the nearest fisherman. Become vested at many of the more lucrative places of employment and if you're savvy and responsible, you'll be set for life--in funds and benefits. Many however, toss a lot of it away by finding themselves in divorce court. There is a HUGE gap between equal-earning employees who go through a divorce and those who do not.
"It's not about the money" is a phrase I've heard all to often. My saying? "It's almost always about the money."
Divorce court may well be the biggest casino in existance.
Amen. Now you're preachin to the choir.

And I say this as someone who is celebrating our 40th anniversary on Sunday--something the critics here have only been able to respond with "she's ugly" as a 65-yr. old, simply because they have no answers as to how well I've done in my video poker career by playing opposite their "phantom bucks theory" method. And BTW, it hurts them even further to know that we both have had successful working careers prior to my becoming the most knowledgeable and successful/profitable VP expert in professional playing history.
And also BTW kew....I believe there is a place in this world for a confused soul like yourself---only it's a DARK place.
Congrat's Rob on 40 years. That's quite an accomplishment. 25 for me before the curtain dropped. Expensive? Naw, marriage is expensive. You get out what you put in should be the way. If not, divorce shouldn't be the answer but it's the only option and it takes your soul. Btw, what does a soul go for these days? Back then, it was 1/2 without regard to what was invested, inherited, and preowned.
Yep, I know of those DARK places. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

How the heck do you think Trump got so rich?
But, it is mostly strange for such a so-called professional gambling crowd to hang around gambling sites because they need someone, anyone, to put down.
Even this realization should be well within the grasps of someone who, perhaps, applies years 1 & 2 (dry) university statistics to a slot machine. Good thing that Crimm finds exactly the same dumb "advantage" over and over, that kids easily tire of, and grow out of in search of greater mysteries and acknowledgment.
Say, in the land of the shit-pile, everyone is king. (Sorry, I guess that I, like Blackhole, still can't resist responding to the idiocy any type of gambler puts up on the internet.)

"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
Coach, I see the same traits in the sportsbook crowd of regulars. Only it's verbal instead of written. Quite often not said to someone face to face. Some guys get really fired up over politics. They start hollering and then get 86ed. It's the dangest thing I've ever seen.

Always hated the term and the way that it is used with such derision without knowing anything about the person. If a guy is not a pro, but is a successful businessman, who likes to play video poker FOR FUN. And if the guy plays 100% perfect strategy (which no-one does), but is playing a 96.5% game, he is often referred to as a ploppy. That couldn't be further from the truth. He is just not a pro. And on the days that the pro plays a 101.5% game and still loses, is he a ploppy that day?
We have similar terms for the race track. I choose to be more civil and not call them names and quietly appreciate their contributions to my bottom line.
Ploppies are the loud mouth know-it-alls who think they know what they're talking about but really don't. They are the blackjack players that hassle you when you follow basic strategy and hit A,7 vs 10 but they themselves don't. They're the ones that chastise 3rd base when that persons play causes them to lose.
And Frank S is a major ploppy himself. He's not an AP. Hes a GAMBLING WRITER pretending to be an AP.
