yes, he's more likely than not to end up negative
so what? if he's enjoyed himself as millions do
people who love scuba diving end up negative in their financials.
should they stop scuba diving?
there's a great irony in APs looking down on or ridiculing those who don't play with an edge although I'm not saying that was done in this thread
even though it wasn't done in this thread it's done fairly often
sometimes I even wonder if APs see the irony
the irony is this:
casinos are not going to deal beatable BJ games if only skilled APs show up at their tables
maybe the recreational gamblers should be greatly appreciated by APs
