Hi. I wonder if the worry about advantage players cutting into the profits and affecting the gaming policy of casinos isn't exaggerated by members of this group. After all an exceptionally
good player, playing five quarter FPDW, can only expect to make one or two cents per hand. And that's playing perfectly over the long, long run!!. That's around $7.00 to $8.00 per hour. As a wild guess, I think that, there may be two or three hundred perfect players in Las Vegas at any one time. I really doubt that the hourly cost of these expert players, {$8.00 X 200 = $1600.00/hr}, is of any concern at all when spread out among all those casinos in Las Vegas. Now I have good friends that do make a
lot more than $8.00/hr playing V.P. and I can't account for their success, but I do believe them. Somewhere my reasoning may be seriously flawed. Maybe someone in the group can set me straight. Dick M.
Advantage players.
The worry may not be accurate on the casinos part BUT they do worry.
Perception is reality to them....
