My honest critique is that I think you're working WAY too hard for your
$1/hour or so return, and you'd probably have more fun playing VP than
playing an Excel spreadsheet.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

I will play this way, then. BTW, I spent no time on excel, just
wanted to know if I could continue to have minimal-risk fun using
coupons this way. I apologize if the question gave the impression it
was from a VP Pro (part or full-time. I'm not sure if that was meant
to be sarcastic or not). I only wish to keep practicing in a casino
environment, to keep my modest edge until I get the chance to go back
to where the real VP games are ...LV
