Just because you are barred from playing a certain way doesn't mean that the method employed doesn't net you a profit. It just means that the opportunity may not last too long.
It's the old story of a pro burning down a play. In this instance the player is fuel for the fire.
The smart player knows how to fleece the sheep, not slaughter them.
The smart player will play at SP on double point and single point days. On single point days the player can still be playing positive E.V. machines, although not too positive.
If I was a Vegas local I'd give them heavier play on the DP days, but I'd play close to the same number of days on SP maybe even more. If you look at the DP days as Icing, you won't have a problem.
As a recreational player I am happy to see the way South Point is handling the advantage player situation. They aren't cutting back on the quantity of good machines, or the good promotions, or the comps, or the points required to earn the goodies. They are targetting the people who they don't want as customers. Let's face it, if you owned a casino would you wnat any Pro as a customer ?
Bob could have mentioned this as a caveat to all advantage players, but I would be willing to bet that the majority of them know this already.
I think the objective of the article was to let people know that you have to look at the whole package when determining if a play is worthwhile. He should have made the example more generic.

There is a problem in this article.

He says: "The answer to this is that
the game "by itself" does not need to exceed 100%. The game plus the slot
club plus the monthly mailers plus any other promotions needs to exceed 100
percent. The South Point advertises 10,000 different games exceeding 99
percent. If you limit your play to double point days and include the
mailers, each of these games offers the player the advantage."
Many many SP players have had their slot club accounts closed and many have
been told by slot club supervisors that the reason for this was that they
played only on double point days!
