speculator9, I think its a little different...uses a negative progression and constantly switching back and forth from player to banker...I have only read half the book so far that's when I found out he was a scammer. Still though, according to the book you could use 2k and bet 10,20,40,80,160 and max out at 160 until you win, with 2k being enough of a bank roll....using 20k you could bet 100,200,400,800,1600 etc...maybe use 30k to give you a little cushion and when you make 3k (10% on your bank roll) then you are out and then hit another casino the same week....2 casinos/week (which in my area Reno, NV is possible or better yet Vegas) is 6k/week and 24k per month....that's not a bad living and buys a lot of pussy and beer. The casinos wouldn't care so much about 3k so go back once per week and probably wouldn't get hit with a 1099 so that eliminates your silent partner. Maybe I'm dreaming but seems by now, especially with all the computing power out there, there should be a way to tip the odds in our favor even if its just slightly where you can make 5-10% on your bankroll on a weekly basis....Hell, I'll even take 5-10% on a monthly basis.
