    There are many good players out there but they do not know how to win.

    you are so right Nathan, and that should be the desire to some on a forum. to help those who have problems instead of criticizing them for being wrong. sadly some are here only to show feathers and how great they are.
    if I was the best player in the world, (only in the top five unfortunately lol) I would not be so proud of myself if my only reward was to make lots of dough. success is nothing if you have no one to share it with along with helping those less fortunate along the way.
    I dont get how selfish some people are but that is life.
    I consider myself a winner not because I never lose, but because I know what it takes to win, and I failed many times in the process, still do, but the frequency has been less and less, and progress is what matters.
    I heard someone said "even Piranhas dont eat their own ", yet we act worst at times.
    all of us players should have only one common enemy, the casino and not eachother. they have plenty of dough ,most of us dont, so why are we so divided I dont get it. we dont have to agree on everything but at least be respectful.
    lets be of good cheer so we can all live a better life.

    Good point.
    P.S.......I listen to all because I'm tired of being a "gambler" and want to learn to be a "player."

    You always hear people suggesting bringing a certain Bankroll and having a stop win which is less than the stop loss and which is less than the Bankroll itself.
    That's the reason why you are having trouble winning in the long run. Stop win less than Stop loss means you need MORE winning days than losing days. I disagree UNLESS you are playing a Package approach like me when the real win/loss calculation only happens after the 5 Marty bust.
    There are EXCEPTIONS though. If you won to a level and couldn't reach the next plateau, you can quit with what. That's what is known as ADVANTAGE player. Quit quickly on a bad day and at least try to win more on a good day.
    An interesting fact that I want to share. It's not the casino intentions but it seems the House is constantly playing a positive non-uniform progression against its patrons. The casinos would lose on a daily basis small amount to these patrons and get everything back is one or 2 days.
    Perhaps BETTING POSITIVELY ENDURING THE DAILY LOSS and win big Occasionally is the Holy Grail. Can You? The lone old man can.
