There are many great business credit card deals for professional gamblers and even non professional APs should be able to qualify for the cards. Here are some […]
Podcast – Sherriff AP episode 9
Sherriff AP chucked it all to become a professional card counter. He had one of the worst losing streaks I have heard of, and I’m not just talking about losing money. Everything in his life seemed to all go wrong at the same time. I think most people would have quit, and never looked back, […]
Spinach!
I was playing $5 NSU Deuces Wild at Harrah’s Cherokee on a recent Seven Stars trip. This casino is one of many that will not let you accumulate credits on your machine greater than $2,999.99. If I have $2,900 in credits immediately after the deal and I end up with a $100 quad or full […]

It’s a Matter of Priorities
Recently in Las Vegas, there was a local pub offering a nice promotion between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. several days a week. Not a great promo and not likely to be repeated, but I’m not interested in providing more details about it than I already have. Suffice it to say it was close enough […]

How Special Is It?
In a recent blog post I wrote: Another factor that is true for me that isn’t universally true for other players is that I have the ability to figure out and master strategies and I enjoy doing so. Thinking about, writing about, studying, and playing video poker occupies a much larger part of my waking […]
