    Lets not generalize. This is probably true in gambling destinations such as Las Vegas or sleazy places like casinos on the Indiana/Chicago area. In most places I play, its just one casino. If I am leaving after a cage visit and picking up wins, I do take precautions (look around, know who is on the elevator with me, etc.) but this is different from winning and high fiving friends or telling someone "I won". It is ridiculous to criticize someone who is having a great time after a win at the bar or sharing his good fortune inside a casino. It presumes that the person came alone, is oblivious about precautions when going to his car.

    The point I was making was that there is nothing wrong with sharing good news within a casino as long as you take precautions when departing from one. I mostly limit precautions I take to the walk from the casino to getting inside my car. My next stop is inside my garage and closing the door.

    If I am seen with lots of cash, I always ask for an escort to my car. Don't flaunt money. Good people will be happy for you. Less good people, who coincidentally also flock to casinos, will be happy to take that money off your hands. My parents raised me to not talk about money and said other people get jealous, feel entitled to it, or will blab to other people who will. Nothing good ever comes of it. I feel it is best to not carry your trip 'roll all in one place too.

    This is an aspect of AP life people would be well served to talk more about. Your operational security is important. Talk too much anywhere about what you do and you could be setting yourself up for a home invasion. I'm very careful about who even knows I spend time extracting money from casinos.

    ...an that's the difficult part. Most people don't see what we do as a job. So the perception is we are down at the casino screwing around while they have to work their butts off. But in reality, our job is very difficult. They can't see it because the work is going on in our minds. The "fun" is an act.

    But who do those that condemn and sit in judgement come running to when they need money?

    True. Because it doesn't matter or change their judgement. Just shrinks my bank account.

    My playing bank is more important to me than any relative.

    At least his periodic spasms are creative although arguably crude. Besides the quality of his posts show extensive AP experience, unlike some wannabes.
    Hmm, thought I responded to this. Essentially, I thought you were to nice to qualify being insulted by me. I must have made other references.

    FM, I wasn't the original insultee, I was responding to your original insultor. it's a little confusing who you're addressing. Diogenes

    Diognes, I was a little confused too. I think Freightman was trying to insult me but you got caught in the crossfire. Sorry about that.

    Of course I knew that, apologies for any confusion. I was referring to a post that "magically" disappeared. Comments were directed to my personal hemmorhoid. He seems to appreciate thoughtful biting commentary. I believe he would have approved.

    Alas, like the ark rescued from the sands of Egypt, only to be lost to the abyss of US army warehousing, my commentary will be lost to the lower bowels if the internet.

    Ahhh, the mystery of the missing post. You would have appreciated it - its commentary would have been clear as to the intended recipient. Some of my best work, lost to the gastric rumbling of the internet.

    Perhaps I can entertain you on some future occasion.
