- "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" - I can imagine myself doing some error, losing some good opportunity etc. let's say 8 years ago - I'm pretty sure my experience as an AP has got big influence on my current approach to weird situations not only regarding game but also life in general (ability to solve problems - or at least look for the solutions - with much less nerves, emotions etc.)
- Money, that's what APing is all about, right? Maybe that knowledge not only made me a winner, but also saved my life from becoming a degen ploppie?
Disadvantages:
- I could notice several people in this thread used words like 'ploppie' 'degen' etc. - i'm pretty sure fact that APs share 'working enviroment' (that's maybe not the best term) with ploppies and degens IS a disadvantage
- I'm pretty sure lot of people, even including relatives/friends, are able to consider APing as regular degenerate compulsive gambling, just because of fact it's gambling some people are unable to keep emotions and prejudices aside - after I've seen a mathematician believing in a gambler's fallacy nothing is gonna surprise me
