you understand wrong. some people make good money playing VP, I don't think anybody makes anywhere near 5mil though. I know one guy that makes 6 figures every year playing it. He plays games that are maybe slightly -EV or sometimes slightly +EV without comps. But then he gets cashback comps which make them +EV. Also they mail players freeplays each month, and he gets $6000 worth of free plays from his various casinos. And sometimes the casinos offer a promotion that is very +EV and he travels to that.

Big part of being a VP pro though is finding good opportunities and traveling to them when there is a good promotion, and it doesn't sound like he did much of that. That is all about having a network of friends who you talk with and tell each other about the good opportunities

ISIS could very well be lying. The group exaggerates casualty counts for its attacks on a regular basis. But to outright lie about a high-profile, external attack like that of Las Vegas would be another matter altogether, and far more unlikely. To that point, the more I pick apart ISIS’ claim for Las Vegas, I’m reminded of its claim of downing flight KGL9268 on October 31, 2015, which killed all 224 people onboard. As news of the crash broke that Saturday, October 31, journalists and investigators from Egypt, Russia, the U.S., and other countries were scrambling for answers, with a mechanical error a forerunning prospect. Then, just hours later, ISIS’ Sinai Province claimed responsibility for the planes downing, calling its operation revenge for its military campaigns in Syria.

The world was doubtful that ISIS had somehow managed to take down a major airliner flying above Egypt’s northern Sinai Peninsula, with high-ranking officials calling it “unlikely.” Responding to these doubts, I stressed that while ISIS’ claim should not be written off, the group would need more evidence to support its bold claim.

ISIS was listening, and responded to the international community’s doubts on November 4 by releasing a brief audio speech entitled, “We are the Ones who Downed It, So Die in Your Rage.” In the audio, an unidentified speaker (believed to be the leader of ISIS’ Sinai Province) insisted that the plane was downed on the one-year anniversary of the establishment of ISIS’ Sinai Province. He promised proof:

For we, by the grace of Allah, were the ones who crashed it, and we shall reveal, Allah permitting, how we brought it down, at a time and way we deem appropriate.

Then, two weeks later, ISIS released the twelfth issue of its now-discontinued magazine, Dabiq, providing its promised proof by showing the IED it used to down the plane and details about its operation.

Man this reporter is freaking awesome. You can tell she knows this group inside and out, and even though she is floating the ISIS theory, she pokes holes in it showing the other side too. If anyone isn't reading these articles she is putting out I would recommend starting now, whether you believe ISIS was behind it or not. She is just presenting the information with no bias and is thorough as hell doing it.

Despite ISIS supporters’ blind faith, the group has a lot to lose if it is caught lying. ISIS is extremely invested projecting legitimacy as well-funded government agencies and organizations constantly work to discredit it. It knows that being caught in a major lie would only feed these entities’ counter narratives.

It is not for nothing that ISIS maintains one central media outlet for the enormous span of its official media releases (as opposed to the more dispersed, decentralized media structure of al-Qaeda and its affiliates); doing so allows the group to maintain an uncontradicted, noise-free message to the world. ISIS knows that respected journalists, analysts, and government officials—with necessary degrees of skepticism and caution—take its attack claims seriously. However, any definitive proof that Paddock had no connection to ISIS would be a severe fracture to how seriously the group’s statements are taken by such communities in the future.

Regardless of Paddock’s motivations, his attack in Las Vegas was a tragic act of evil. But ISIS has come too far to walk back its claims for the Las Vegas attack. Unless it wants its future claims to be dismissed, it will need to provide what it did for flight KGL9268 and other events: proof.

Casinos are fucking retarded when it comes to their promotions. It isn't that rare for them to offer a promotion that is worth like $200/hr. So these guys find something like that, and grind it as long as they can stay awake, as long as the promotion is active. Because the casino will catch on quickly that they are getting raped, and shut down the promotion.

WOW DETCORD, CHANG'D MUCH?

Watching the news said he reported 5 million earnings in 2015 from gambling, also said was seen with hookers while gambling at Mandalay. Also said he won a couple of jackpots while gambling at Mandalay Bay which contradicts the radios show which said he lost big.

well, according to VPfree2, there are not many of those in Reno, and only 1 casino has a +EV game at stakes above $.25...plus its Double Bonus which is a relatively complicated version, and even then the edge is only .17%, so it is a real grind to play that long to hit the royal

Nothing good is posted on VPfree2, because if somebody finds something good, why would they want to tell the world about it?
