My first two trips as an AP I was very much in the black. After four trips, I was well ahead of the curve. Then I had a terrible trip, followed by three breakeven trips. While I managed to generate small profits for the next few trips, my per trip average kept going down. It took me about three years- or 15 trips to get into my comfort zone. Been there for the last eight years. Every time I think about increasing my bets and putting more risk into the equation , I figure why bother. I'm exactly where I want to be, so why change. I play more for relaxation and to get away for awhile.
