If the player is going to get frustrated if he loses X dollars and start betting big on negative counts in order to attempt to get his money back, given the player's psychological profile his/her long run "edge" may actually be negative! That's why I think casinos that rely solely on objective factors, such as software reports, are making a mistake. And I have seen a lot of counters with psychological profiles giving them a much smaller "edge" than the simulations would indicate.
Just some interesting tidbits, but I do understand what you all have posted and I appreciate the responses. They were interesting.
