Says I'd get flagged as a Day Trader and get unspecified restrictions if I had less than $25K in my account not counting crypto, (at 9:49 in the video).

Maybe I should try something else like Forex trades over a longer time period than a day. He says 90% of traders are losers, but he's making millions even though he's only got a slight edge with his trades.

What is the long-term capital gains tax? https://www.bankrate.com/investing/long-term-capital-gains-tax/
Meanwhile, for short-term capital gains, the tax brackets for ordinary income taxes apply. The 2024-2025 tax brackets are 10 percent, 12 percent, 22 percent, 24 percent, 32 percent, 35 percent and 37 percent.
Unlike the long-term capital gains tax rate, there is no 0 percent rate or 20 percent ceiling for short-term capital gains taxes.

DiceData videos - 3 Pt Molly/Dolly w/ 1X odds, PL w/ 1X odds & PB 6 & 8

Here's some videos from DiceData with results from 10 shooter sessions.
The Dolly results are almost a mirror image of the Molly results with more winning sessions and bigger losses on the Dolly side and more losing sessions and bigger wins on the Molly side. The HA is calculated expertly to the line bets only on Molly/Dolly sessions. Any outlier sessions are in the sub 0.2% range.

VP Strategy Calculator

I ran across a couple playing an IGT VP machine in the high limit room in Vegas for YouTube. The machine had denoms of $2, $5, $10, $25, $50 & $100. The max bets would be $10, $25, $50, $125, $250, & $500. The Royal Flushes would pay $8K, $20K, $40K, $100K, $200K, & $400K.
The games were Classic Games:
Bonus Poker
Bonus Poker Deluxe
Deuces Wild Bonus Poker
Deuces Wild
Double Bonus Poker
Double Double Bonus Poker
Jacks Or Better
Joker Poker
Triple Bonus Poker
White Hot Aces

With the pay tables I screenshotted I painstakingly tried to figure out what the HA of the games they were playing (not all of the games were played) and came out anywhere from 96.25% to 99.0%, it just depends what game they selected.
I know there's a similar machine in my area but it's only a 25 cent, 50 cent, $1 machine on the floor, with a $1, $2, $5, $10, $25 version in the High Limit Room.
So if I ever get around to playing them for whatever reason, I have this handy link to fall back on to get the basic strategy and the HA of the game from the pay tables.
They started with $5K, and lost over $500 playing at the $5 level, then switched up to the $10 level and pulled ahead with a $2K win on quads. They were far enough ahead they tried the $25 level and won over $3K in about 3 minutes, so they cashed out ahead. Some games drained their balance faster than others and it does take a bigger win like quads to catch them up, but they have the luxury of changing their denom significantly.
