The easy answer and the harder one
Mr Count
I guess you are new to this based upon your question. If you play well and are playing a game with decent rules and pen, then 2 units per hour is the (easy) answer.
What may be hard for the new player to understand is just how those 2 units come to you. The casino is not an ATM machine where you sit an hour and just collect your 2 units. The movie 21 also makes it look easier than it really is. Your sessions or hours or whatever will look a lot more like lose 20 units in one hour and win 24 units the next for a net of 2 per hour.The hard thing is that those losing sessions could be multiple sessions of losses and new players will tend to base too much on very short term results. A true pro still could go through months where he is a net loser even though lifetime he is a big net winner.
All of this makes blackjack income hard to depend upon for one's living expenses and is also why the bankroll needed is so much larger than your minimum bet.

Are there seriously enough casinos that can tolerate black chip action for extended periods of time that this can be made into a career?
At 2 units/hr, you'd need to play 100 hours a year of $100 blackjack to eek out a poverty-level living, 200 hours a year for a decent living. I don't see how this wouldn't be picked up by the casinos, especially since so many of them are owned by the same companies (even the Indian casinos).

then it looks like their high roller rich guys who are there to just have a good time and get lucky
casinos would like them until they caught one
casino view at new bp sitting down:
big players = big bets = more money for the house
bp wins = he got lucky we will get him later
truth:
big players = big bets at appropriate times = more money for the player
bp wins =
casino = im a math major
