Right. So even if he goes on an amazing, historic run of Anti-Martingale betting at a $25 BlackJack table he’d hope to have a nice run in the $15-20k vicinity and that’s very rare. A good win that’s not outside the norms at that betting level is $5-10k. That’s a huge win for most folks but it’s different for a guy who makes $7mm/year.
I’ve seen people go on those runs but 99% of the time you’re losing that money. They don’t build the casinos by giving money away. The risk to wealth ratio makes this sort of a boring game. I’ve played lousy $1 tables with I’ve been downtown and it’s hard to actually care about it because you’re not going to win a lot even if you do well.
I used to play a lot of Blackjack. I went to Vegas a lot with a friend of mine. He sat down at a table with some old lady at the Golden Nugget. It was a $100 table but the lady was betting $10k minimum per hand. This goes on for a while until she losses maybe $100,000, gets up and leaves. My friend is just kinda shocked. When she leaves the dealer tell him that the lady is Ray Kroc’s widow.
