It is not life changing money, but it’s definitely saved me at times and made me money others by me simply being willing to listen and learn.
And it’s why I can easily see something as probably Bullshit right from the start. Common sense is a valuable tool in life and can’t be taught. Some need to use it more.
I guess that makes me fortunate always being able to view and treat casinos as pure entertainment win or lose. More like playing James Bond occasionally always being treated like royalty.
It never crossed my mind once to go to casinos with wife and friends with the intentions of eventually grinding out some type of hourly wage over time.
I stumbled into these forums way past the prime of my gambling days (except for poker) and found enjoyment in the stupidity being posted. I try to interject doubt and common sense like you suggest is a valuable tool.
Not sure why anyone would search down anonymous gambling forums for advice. I understand when the hopeless are looking for any way out, but certainly not a successful business man. How were you even able to find the time in order to make AP’ing worth it. I was lucky if I was able to get 6 hours of sleep in my day.
Not sure what you meant when you said your anonymous AP friends definitely saved you at times. My opinion is without taking AP life on full time and living in Vegas or close to lots of action, making yourself available 24/7, for whatever might be going on, for however much time a play might last is a full-time commitment.
Were you randomly traveling to casinos when your business allowed you some time off to scrap up a few extra AP bucks? I understand just because it’s an AP move doesn’t guarantee a win anytime you go. Did you add all your sessions together to eventually gain the math expectations?
At least I could confirm we agree on this statement you made.
