To Best--There are WAY too many books, videos, and coaches out there already. In my experience, the materials are so widely available and often presented in such easy-to-digest form, that it is probably pretty logical that the guy who is losing WANTS to lose for whatever deep-seated reason a person could have for wanting to lose -- to showboat how much money they have, not caring because the amount they gamble is trivial to them, emotional disorder, who knows, who cares.

To Helenkan-- My "mindset" is not relevant to the fact that I'm responding to a poster who made a false claim. I paid off my house early playing blackjack. So the guy who claims that the more effort you put into trying to win, the more you lose, simply and provably doesn't know what he's talking about. He made an assumption, and we all know how to spell "assume" this time of century.

The more time, effort, and energy you put into winning, the more opportunities you will find to profit, be it from blackjack (card counter), the (admittedly increasingly rare) coupons or beatable machines, or from poker. Most people lose because most people DON'T make any effort. The techniques for making money in Vegas are not top secret information, they are widely published, so if you don't make use of them, you really have no one to blame but yourself. Most people feel it's too much effort to win...that's their choice.

Vegas is not a town to worry about earning miles. I go there to pick up cash.
You got different priorities than most people though, and not everyone goes with the mindset that they have to win money in order to make their trip worthwhile.
