For a net of 8 wins and 7 losses.
Against the house edge (or juice or vigorish) which amounts to me winning $150 each time a $165 wager wins and losing $165 whenever I’m on the wrong side:
8*150 - 7*165 = a measly $45 profit.
Not very successful but at least it wasn’t a loss. And great fun was had in Las Vegas. Poker was very successful as there were plenty of bad players at the Monte Carlo no limit games.
