question about profit for the real pros

[bjplayer123]

Hi pros

As a ok card counter with over a year experience myself, I understand the profit for card counting is very low even you are very good at it, mathmatically You only make few dollars a hour if you bet 100 a hand, but how the MIT team won over 10 mil. And ben affleck won 800,000 before he got banned from cadino. I understand they play alot bigger, but odds is still same small.

in a really good game you can make an appreciable hourly even with a $100 max bet

In MIT's case, the (supposed) millions were spread out over many, many people, both players and spotters. I'm not sure what their hourly expected value per person was, but I think you'd probably find it underwhelming. The Affleck thing, if true, may also very well have been a lucky night, and reporting conspicuously omits all the nights of losses he undoubtedly had as well.

We just go by units and what looks normal to take . Large unit amounts and as close to basic as possible is what makes a profitable team or player . All with a verifiable edge of course .
