    AP Turnover

    An article in the newspaper recently has me wondering what effect an AP's play has on a casino's turnover. The Australian racing industry is currently lamenting the loss of it's biggest bettor, despite the fact that he only bets with an advantage, a loss of approx $1 billion worth of turnover annually.

    So my question is, would AP's bets (collectively) have any effect on the turnover of a casino? Or do they represent too smaller representation of the total market?

    yes they can, albeit i should imagine because of the low numbers of true AP's it would be a relatively small piece of the pie.
    some aspects of of even winning AP's money flowing through their system is a win for them, strange as it may seem.

    What would be considered a "true AP?" A subpar counter or somebody using a poor spread to get them a below McD's wage win rate is technically still an AP....

    it's interesting that AP's, game creators and the casinos can enjoy a symbiotic like relationship where all three can enjoy a profit under certain circumstances.

    Do you have a link to the article? Is it about a certain blackjack hall of fame member who's name I can't spell or say?
