Why don't Europeans do a 2 month counting trip every year and be a top 1%er in their country?

After seeing some of the top salaries of countries like Portugal, Uk, Germany, Italy and other Visa-free countries, it seems like a 2 month card counting trip through vegas, Missouri, and Louisiana every year as a medium stakes AP can put them into the top 1% bracket of their respective homelands. Also tax free if you don't leave a paper trail. + unemployment government benefits and free health insurance. They also get more cover for being foreign.

Insane Tip Hustling at Vegas

Needs to be talked about, after being down 25,000 and climbing up on the next shift, constant passive aggressive dealers saying when will you pay me? Telling the next dealer this guy doesn't give. Other players pressuring me to tip more. DO I GET TIPPED WHEN I LOSE?????? Happened at the bellagio but other places were giving me the same treatment to a lesser extent.

Should I be a Karen and complain to the pit boss? I was playing so long that it got to that point where nobody thought I was a counter at that point.

Using KO for 8 deck and potentially 6 deck also

After a tedious week of 8 deck playing, I'm deciding to switch to KO for these large shoe games since the deck estimation error is higher on these for me. From what I've read and simulated, KO bet ramping needs to be adjusted based on the pen; from 2.5 decks cut off to one deck cut off the player's point of advantage happens at -7 to -3 (starting at a running negative 28, source is CVCX KO-Full 8 deck).

Once player advantage reaches about .2% I can start raising my bets slightly, and I'll max bet when player advantage is about 3% (running +8), Let's say $25 for any disadvantageous counts and $400 for max bets, and ramping accordingly from running -3 to +8.

I'll max a google drive sheet for different pivot points for each quarter deck estimation. Does this seem like a reasonable plan?

Blasting high pressure water into my pelvic floor muscles cured my testicular pain temporarily

I've had testicular pain for years involving several surgeries, I recently went to a public pool while on vacation that had high pressure water shooting from all directions. I used one that was coming from the seat and massaged my hips, pelvic floor, and muscles around the anus. A few minutes later almost no pain. It gradually came back and I'm wondering how I can make this permanent.

Why do casinos make deck pen bad on 6:5 blackjack and carnival versions?

Maybe they're countable in extreme circumstances but I doubt anyone would bother with 6:5 or Free bet.

Automatic tipping in Colombia and Brazil??

Came across these a few times, it's not even this bad in North America. Half the times I asked them manually to take them off. Half the times I folded and just paid it. Medellin and Sao Paolo btw.

Who in the casino looks at winning trends and can you be banned from playing if you're winning long term?

Also do they see a graph of how many hours you played or just a net win?

Security guards really think they the shit huh?

Please stop acting so tough, you're overweight, twice my age, and get paid peanuts while you can't even arrest me and are not armed. You're not a police officer, FBI, or even TSA agent. Shit's so infuriating especially when they straight up lie.

I had to explain to some meatheads that Caesar's properties aren't even necessarily owned by Caesars (in one case Linq was owned by Vici).

Watching trespass videos on youtube give me second hand rage.

Successful people aren't going to give you their true advice

Half a year ago I found a super niche concept that nets me, let's say a &#%$-ton of money. I think I finally understand it. This can not be known by anyone else, even one extra person will severely hinder my earnings. However others do, and already it has resulted in conflict of interest. Anyone actually successful in trades, competitive gaming, dating, software, business, ETC will NOT give you actual helpful advice. They will give generic advice to seem like they are helping you, I have done this myself now too. Any advice you read on the internet will be saturated already. You have to find that blue ocean market yourself and keep it to yourself.

Complaining about Matchgroup's business model is coping

Yes they clearly have a Monopoly but it's not a company problem, but a dating market problem. Doesn't matter what app you're using or how it's run, you're still competing with the same locals. Stop acting like you can be a better CEO.

It's like so simple, I have evaded about 12-15 times at this point successfully, just follow the instructions. Just do the facial recognition, it's not holding your face in biometric or anything. Use new photos.

Can you get a back off from marketing seeing you're winning too much?

Let's say "hypothetically" someone is milking a game that has zero heat. You're playing rated about twice a week. Hundreds of hours you're still climbing up. At what point will someone in the ratings system be like: How is he still winning? And catch this person.

Considering rounds per hour, is Blackjack really the "best casino game"?

Telling people Blackjack has the best odds is only part of the story. How many hands of BJ can you fit into one roulette spin? Or a poker table game? One can probably play 25 hands of blackjack within one spin of roulette. You'll definitely lose more per hour even with perfect basic strategy.
