This was a guy who allegedly earned a living playing video poker. LOL.
Everyone on this website who has even a minimal understanding of the casino industry knew that was a crock of sh!t from the start.
Actually, it IS possible to make a living playing video poker, though not easy. There are machines that return over 100% with perfect play, though not usually in the higher denominations. But even if you play a 99.5% machine, you can overcome that in various ways, including comps and point multipliers. There is a large community of “advantage” vp players. See the website vpfree2.com. I know it’s counterintuitive that casinos offer games that can be beaten, but blackjack and video poker are two such games. Both require a great deal of skill.
P.S. I am a mathematician living in Las Vegas and know several winning vp players. Personally, I prefer to spend my time in other ways.
He was not earning a living playing video poker. He earned a fortune in real estate and he was gradually losing money playing video poker.
