thanks for the input guys. I think i'll be checking out a couple of them. Repeat Until Rich was the one i was trying to think of as i remember it being talked about on the forum before but couldn't find it for the life of me. So thank you DyePaintball even though some didn't like your suggestions, hopefully you self confidence can be restored

Gamblers and progressionists "can" win and someone does win those lotteries. However, as an AP pro one does not play negative expectation games. An AP pro is not concerned over winning to much, a good Black Swan. An AP pro would be concerned over a negative Black Swan. In the real world it's difficult to get that ror to go away completely. There is a negative tail on the bell curve beyond 3 SD.

yah that's pretty much the way it is for blackjack far as i know, so but anyway as a side note, it's not inconceivable there could be inside of casino walls positive ev plays that carry black swan'ish' riders that could payoff concurrent to the pos ev play.....  
edit: Black Swan by Nasim Taleb, not about blackjack but an interesting read.
