You are correct, I do not believe "most" people can beat VP over time. Do I believe some people can and do? Yes.
The problem I have is some members of this forum make it seem easy. It takes a lot of things in order for this to happen consistently. Having access to positive VP games is first on the list. If you live in Vegas, you probably think these games are common. It's easy to add in your comps and come up with a positive game. That is far from common in the rest of the country. Secondly, you must have an adequate bankroll and be willing to use it. If you are going to play quarter VP, that means having at least $3-$5K sitting somewhere waiting to be played. "Most" people don't have 20% of that. Thirdly, you must be able to play 100% computer perfect forever. This is a lot easier said than done. Forth, you must have disposable time to invest in the game. "Most" people have jobs and families. They can't invest enough time in the game so the odds have an affect their results. Finally, you must have the discipline to stick with a plan even when it seems to be fighting you. The stone cold fact is, "Most" people lose money playing VP.
If you can make money playing VP, I congratulate you. That's not the normal VP experience that "most" people have.
