    If you are a long term winner at sports and poker (only you know if that is true or not, even then, some people think they are life time winners, but they really are not, its hard for most people to tell if they dont keep records and or have an income or substantial savings )and you play that 95% of the time when you are playing, and you do this regularly, that would suggest that you are a part time AP.

    MR.V
    As long as one plays more positive games and bigger advantages then they do on occasional bad stuff its not the end of the world.

    for instance, if you put in a hundred here and there playing a slot, bad VP, craps, 3cp, UTH but you put 500k in action on positive EV stuff then its negligible.

    I dont think it would be any diffrent than someone spending money at an arcade, the movies, on drugs, hookers, over priced fancy dinners, fancy toys etc.

    I only asked him because the tenor of his post was like "Harrumph. Only fools play negative expectation games."

    I guess in his world it's OK to act foolishly 5% of the time.

    The asking price was $3,500 - $4,750 including chips. It's now down to $999. He did go to the right place, though, drawing on the experience and wisdom of the helpful WOV members...many unique suggestions and comments. Ahigh is in good hands. Here are some of the better ideas.

    EvenBob/Spike: "Send me $1000 and I'll stop posting for a year."

    SOOPOOP: "Donate it to charity".

    Beached Whale: "Email the Seminole Indians".

    EB/Spike: "Drag it out by the road and put a 'free craps table' sign on it".

    Wizardofnothing but lies:" I would chip in for a video of him chainsawing it".

    Onenickelmiracle: "Sell it to a porn company so they can make a porno on it".

    Zcore13: "I will never post here again if you chainsaw it".

    RS: "If you can get your hands on a rocket launcher....I might be interested in pitching in some money to watch the craps table get obliterated".

    And the winner is.....onenicklemiracle. Sell it to a porno company. Absolutely brilliant. We need a DNA test to see if he is related to manboy.

    I only make a 6 percent return over the last 5 years on sports. 100k in bets 6k in returns. So even if I went full time I couldnt make a living.
    So that would make me an unsuccessful full time AP if I chose that path.
    And thats with having a home there where travel expenses I have now could be eliminated.

    If I take out travel expenses.....its a net 5.5 percent profit.( i dont deduct all travel since we have a home and would go to reno/sparks whether I gamble or not to check on the house and pick up mail and do other activities......just 50 percent less often)

    As far as poker, I am slightly positive for the last 3 years.....and cant brag to be a consistent winner ......and would not extrapolate my 3 year "income" to being able to make a loving from it. I am still getting better.

    so I am an unsuccessful AP ..if I am an AP at all.

    only fools play negative expectation games AND brag that they can outdo someone else at those games....like the homosexual bac player did when he challenged me to sit at a table with him.....as if he was going to show me something spectacular in his "play".

    I'm actually here for something else, but I'll respond to this really quick:

    You make yourself look like even more of a moron with every post you make regarding this matter. It's embarrassing and you should stop. Ownership of the sites (WoO/LCB) specifically asked me to provide a photo for the, 'About Us,' pages, if it was up to me, I don't know whether I'd have it on there or not. If ownership demanded I write under my real name, then I probably would and just have to deal with the consequences.

    Further, there are reasons why having my picture (associated with a pseudonym) is less of a concern than having my actual name associated with AP writing. Those reasons should be obvious enough that I'm not going to type them out here. I'd get another tl;dr accusation from Freddy, despite the fact that he has probably read everything I've ever written, twice, and apparently (by his own admission) checks a page with my picture on it daily.

    Wow, that's the most fucked up thing I've read in awhile, if you're being serious. Maybe that should be a new GA question, "Has gambling ever caused you to have an erection that you have then shoved in the face of another man?" I've got to believe you'd be one of only a few people to answer, 'Yes,' to that one.

    In fairness, that sounds pretty AP, just recreational AP. I guess the only other criteria would be that the balance of your total gambling action be +EV, as Axel mentioned.

    I would love to see you play at a table games pit. I have this sneaking suspension that you actually tell other players 'Shhhsssssh' when they win larger amounts.<<<<

    You actually think hi rillers that win big and lose big make a big deal either way? Have you ever been in a casino?

    The people hi fiving and doing snoopy dances are the novices who never had the experience before

    so no I dont mind when kids are kids......they eventually grow up and act like adults.

    I'm not sure I catch your drift here.

    It sounds like you feel constrained to stick a roll of salami down the front of your pants when you gamble.

    Wow, talk about being superstitious.

    What ever happened to a rabbit's foot?

    Bro, it was a gold monkey, and yes I still have the little guy!

    As far as the salami as you call it....it is actually a 'fresh spring roll' from over at Little Saigon on Spring Mountain Road, but no one fucking here gets or likes or believes in joking, LOL.

    So I will just appease the royal king and ruler (possibly board owner) Larry S the 'Superman' no doubt!

    As far as the other remarks about no yelling or screaming form the high limit rooms/Asian rooms, lol to the max! Yes the tourist do that with $20 our on the layout, but there is plenty from the HL rooms. Maybe not the poker end but sure the fuck 1,000,000% on the Bac tables.

    Larry, seems like you have a severe problem and hang-up about my erections and nuts? Why the fuck are you so concerned, no one else is really. To me and even a medical doctor I just discussed this with, he said;--"If the person harps on your expressions of your sexuality, I would have to lean towards that person having a guilt complex to mask his or her own homosexuality experiences or pent up frustrations with not being able to discuss his own experiences with his/her loved ones"...................................

    You are saying I actually challenged you? Do you study 'how to assume things and then post to get everyone on your side' material. I challenged you? WTF??? Seriously, are you just an old goat that is constipated or fucking what man?? I bet you wagered Atlanta to win and busted the fuck out of your TV sets when my boys from NE took care of business in the minute of the game....................................whatever.

    Here is what I said, there is no challenge in there, it was a statement you fuck: "So what?? Big fucking deal. When you can sit at a baccarat table with me and you wager some money on the Player side and you slam down a Natural 8 and I am on the Bankers side and I slam down a Natural 9, I will probably stand up and you will obviously notice a nice hunk of hard meat in my jeans bulging. So what"???

    I don't know why Selling it to a promo company was a bad? There are companies that set up parties for convention's and different thing's. They Rent out and set up everything. I Worked for a place like that briefly. They had some some gaming tables they rented out.
