What is the origin of the word ploppy?
Where did it come from and why that word to describe a non advantage blackjack player?

From the Blackjack Glossary (link in the menu on the left frame):
Ploppy. A term coined by gambling author Frank Scoblete to describe a typical uninformed gambler
From a linguistic point of view, it seems clear that it was Frank's fun way of describing the typical player who plops down in a seat, stays there forever, and has no idea what he/she is doing.

"and has no idea what he/she is doing."
Is that a new gender? I think I have seen some of those.
Thanks Don.
...it was a recreational player who plops their money down and hopes for the best.
