I wouldn't say I was an accountant for a box manufacturer or anyone else for that matter! I wouldn't want to give them the impression I was good with numbers..

How often do you get interrogated?

I can only think of one instance in the last year or so when a dealer asked me what I do for a living, and it was more smalltalk than anything else, as I was playing heads up.

He apparently plays at casinos far different than any that we ever encounter.

Why not tell them you work in "counter"-intellegence? And mum's the word, you know " loose lips.....".

I've been asked a few times, fairly recently. Sometimes it's small talk, and some times it's a discreet delay after I have to pull out more cash after taking a beating. Maybe I'll just start answering 'drug dealer'.

Latex salesman for Van Delay industries.

And before that you were an importer/exporter.

Say you make websites or involved in web development.

Are you sure ? I still thinking it's gambling. It's not a sure thing. Not fixed. Things still have to go your way. You could have a run of bad luck and be broke before you get to your 1 billion hands played.

If you go broke, you didn't have an adequate bankroll, and that IS gambling. Do the casinos gamble?

My response was to the question.
What do you say to dealers who ask what you do for a living.

So my response is to say.
I am here to gamble not talk about work.

Call it what you what. Casino have more money to out last any AP. Take a look at the downtown area of LV and look at the downtrotten people. I bet you they were ex AP players. Don't quit your day job.

So you never went broke ? Did you fund your bankroll when it went low from your day job or do you just gamble for a living ?

No, I never went broke. I always have enough with me for the level I bet. The worst thing that can happen is running out of bankroll during a good count, even if you're losing.

Yes, I do have a day job. However, with what I've won as an AP over the last few years, I can't imagine ever needing to dip into day job funds.

Just because you know you've got an astronomical true count doesn't mean you're going to get all the high cards. The cards are there, so you bet more. But the cards are going to be evenly distributed between all the players and the dealer.

Tell me about it. I had my biggest single-day loss ever about 3 weeks ago. Every hand I should have won in a big count, I lost, including insurance bets. I still didn't run out of bankroll. BTW, the last 2 weeks made up for that loss (plus some.)

Two jobs will shut people up from further questions. One is tell them you are a life insurance salesman and the other is an auditor with the IRS.
