At the end of the video, he says that what he does isn't gambling, it's poker, its like a job. That's definitely true. But I was thinking about the craps, which most certainly is gambling--the worst kind where you are guaranteed -EV at all times--and what denial he is in.
Jeez you are a nit - some of us like to shoot dice, and the odds against you arent that bad if you play with max odds at decent casinos.
I played at Beau Rivage seven or eight times last week with 10x odds - on a pass line bet of 10 with 100 behind with a point of 4, I was risking 110 to win 218 on a 2-1 wager. You consider that a house edge which is sure to "break" me? $2/$220? Give me a break.
If you enjoy the game and the action, and can afford to play - that is not a house edge which makes the game unplayable.
