I used to be a silent prop, and I found it shocking how many props sat down with absolutely no experience, how many were losing players, etc. I guess the casino that I used to "work" at didn't have a screening. Do you ask basic questions, or is it play at your own risk?
I am not going to disclose how much the props got paid or what I got paid (fyi, silent props get paid less), but I can't imagine them living good on what they were getting paid. If you want to add more thoughts, feel free. Just something to move the discussion.

I always tell people that no more than 5% of players are winning players, do you agree with this?

A common argument against this is that a prop is among winning players. I always laugh at this.

What are some of the reasons you feel that losing prop continue their job?

How do you deal with losing props?

Do you ever pull them aside and say "hey, no offense...."

One prop I knew lost 2,000 BBs before he finally hung it up.

Their is no screening to become a movable or silent prop and thats probably one of many reasons why their is such a high turn out rate.

list below is some of the reasons why props don't survive
-they dont have the proper br
-their not winning poker players therefore use their paycheck to cover their losses consistently.
-they borrow money from some of the regs and never pay back. which gives a bad rep to the casino which costs them there job (only happen once that i know of)



Out of the 7 movable props that we have at our casino

-1 winning poker player

-2 break even player, who survives on their paycheck

-3 slight loser

-1 donkey who probably loses more then what he makes, but the only reason why he continues to play is because he could afford it.. his retired and gets two retirement checks from his past jobs every month.. only reason he props is to get out of the house. well thats what he told me.


silent prop-9

4-winning poker players
3- break even players
2- slight loser

host-4
4- were all winning players, and to be honest am probably the worse player out of the 4... we dont play against eachother. we all have different schedules which overlaps at times.

note- we probably get 2-3 new movable props every month and since the first day that i started (6months ago) i have yet to see a new prop survive longer then 2months. the scale that i made up top are the prop players who have done this longer then me.
