Just finished up my year and added it up. I played 400 hours, won $28670, per hour average is $71.50. Expenses about $8k. So I in 8 months, lost in 4 months. First two months of year, lost $8k, last two months of year, won $12k.
First half of year, I had a job, second half I was retired.
I think my local casinos, where I played rated, have caught on to me for the most part. They cannot back me off and so they inconsistently apply counter measures, seem ok with low spreads. Lots of learning ahead including handling heat. My simple formula of spreading with count, reducing max bet appearances with going to two hands and switching in between needs to change. I have to travel more diversely as I am recognized in Tunica, No and some spots in Las Vegas.
