APs find fault with his strategy to move down in denomination after a big win and to move up after a string of losses. APs condemn it but Rob's experience is that the strategy preserves wins and after a string of losses, it puts you in a position to catch a win. (I don't do this, by the way.)

Yes, I think Rob's system has its own advantages that traditional APs won't see.
STOP LOSSES/WINS ARE NOTHING SPECIAL. Rob didn't invent this wheel, he just adapted it to VP for his con to sell books or whatever. His system only helps him avoid losing everything in a short period of time and when he wins it helps him not to give it all back that day or whatever. No matter what you will never be able to consistently win using his system. Given enough time everyone using his system will end up in the red. Some sooner rather than later, some in the middle, and some it will take longer if they get lucky.
