Former son in law. Per Rob's own words his daughter dumped her husband and kids in Arizona and ran off to Minnesota with another man.
The washwomen from GF have taken control of this thread.
It's been my pleasure reviving this forum once again!
Alan, think back. How often have I wrote that while you remain stupefied over the tax credits I took on Schedule C for all ten years of filing as a business (2000 thru 2009) they were all legal and followed the IRS guidelines....and I utilized certain tools to gain access to every legal loophole--if that's what you might want to call it. No you may never get over it, but constantly portraying it as illegal is bad reporting.
Surprise! mickey's paid attention! However, my daughter didn't "run off" with some MN. guy. She got divorced, then got involved and got married to someone living in the tundra. Her ex certainly was and still is at the IRS and we remain close.
RS__ as usual you make no sense because of a lack of experience in basically everything. However, while we recently celebrated our 38th, seeing how our daughter's generation is so casual with divorce naturally is troubling. I don't expect most it anyone here to comprehend our long and happy marriage because from what I've seen, most of you follow losing gamblers' curses which include being losers in relationships that amount to anything. Talking about having "girlfriends" actually proves my point. A bunch of old farts, 40-yr. old + big-talking adolescents, the despicable husbands Dancer & arci turned out to be because of their gambling problems, serial divorcees, and whatever category these self-proclaimed anonymous "AP's" fall into, all show me how fortunate I am that my life situation causes some of you losers and failures to make up what you wish it were like for me. It is more than obvious the effect gambling has on the majority of you. And not only has my gambling success irritated most here--our decent personal life is despised. One can only IMAGINE what mickey for instance, goes thru when I pass thru his mind while on his 8th Moose Drool in some dumpy, lonely bar in the middle of nowhere.
Cheers! :) Now please, keep this thread going and going. I'm not here because I wanna be....
Rob's main purpose online, or perhaps only purpose, is to troll people. He's admitted this, too. Why take anything he says as truth? It's clear he has many made up stories (yeah, you sure won $100K+/year for 10 years, mmhmmmm).....I'm starting to think all this talk of his "wife" and "family" is more of his nonsense. Then again, if you look at a picture of Rob and the picture of his wife, you may think "it's meant to be", kinda like when the damn ugliest boy in high school goes to prom with the equally terrifying girl. I mean, come on -- just look at Rob! ahahahaa
Poor Rob. He's become the Rodney Dangerfield of the video poker world.
I was unaware that having a "girlfriend" was a bad thing. But live and learn.
There's a lot of jealousy in his posting. Dancer and Jean Scott have been and remain relevant. Both have several books out, blogs, columns and are still considered VP "Stars". I'm not a big fan of either, I think they are great at self promotion and suckered a lot of people into gambling that should not have tried it.
Rob tried writing books and failed, his columns generated a small buzz and then faded away and now he's down to spending his days on these lonely message boards trying to get some sort of following.
As both he and Dancer are close to the same age, I'm guessing it eats away at Singer how Dancer still has success and Singer is stuck posting on Vegas Casino Talk.
Strangely, Dancer/Singer/Scott all use a million dollars as their standard of success. It's all relative, if I had only made a million in my business over the last 10 years I would have been a horrible failure.
Neither him or his wife outkicked the coverage, but like they say "every pot has a lid".
Too bad about the poor upbringing his daughter had. Maybe if he hadn't been a degenerate gambler all these years, she'd have a better moral center.
Rob must have had an arranged marriage. From looking at his videos it would make sense.
Alan this is the only post appropriate enuf to reply to. Rodney was an absolute genius at working the crowd--was he not? The other few guys--we all know silly personal attacks only make the originator feel even more superior because the purpose was served :)
I know you're feeling a bit off over my position of how very typical it is for addicted gamblers not to have steady, meaningful relationships. But the proof is in the pudding, as they say. You're the most prolific gambler here, and you've not only been unable to stay married....you basically can't keep any woman around very long. I think that's sad, because while you seem to enjoy arguing nearly all of the time, you're one of the best people I've met in my gambling career. I personally believe you would be in a totally different position in life had you not pissed away so much on gambling according to how the casinos want and expect you to gamble.
Redietz, I'm not knocking girlfriends per se. What's unfortunate, however, is how a number of you here claim to have "girlfriends" at ages where it's just stupid to want to announce such a thing about yourselves. It screams "I'm a middle-aged or old fart loser, who has never been able to keep a woman around due to my gambling problems". And most people over 40 get married after meeting fairly quickly. Look at Dancer as a role model :)
I'm not familiar with that "over 40, let's get married" schtick.
And Rob, for the record, I was married for 25 years.
Rob, I question that I am the most prolific gambler here. I think you gamble way more than I do.
Proves my point. Marriage overwhelmingly doesn't survive when one person takes on a gambling habit, because even if the player doesn't lose money, gambling controls them.
Not picking on Alan, but he's the poster boy for this. Day-in/day-out since I've met him, he lives, breathes, and eats gambling action, whether from actually going to casinos, the incredible ANXIETY of looking forward to going, or when plans are more than a week away, he non-stop talks and reads gambling here and elsewhere on the internet.
Now we can't really tell what's up with the rest of the crowd of anonymous characters around here and on other forums, but what I'm saying is rather obvious. We all know what a wreck Dancer made of his marriage because of gambling. Jean Scott and "Brad" never marry even in their upper 70's, most probably because of financial problems related to gambling. Skip Hughes died in misery because of his wife forcing him to move out of LV, which as he stated almost broke them.
And these are just a few of the histories of public people we know. Think of the trainwrecks that are the thousands of anonymous gambling personalities out there. It's almost as if it's a pre-determined requirement that an overabundant gambling fascination ruin someone's ability to have and/or keep a meaningful relationship. For most people, gambling almost completely takes over the victim's mind, and that spells doom.
But for me....just as I don't operate within the norm of AP gamblers and just about everyone else who plays VP--yet I've been and continue to be very successful at it--I don't operate within the norm when it comes to family or a relationship. Similar to most people outside of the gambling world, I put these things first. Therein lies the reason(s) most gamblers here despise me.
And I couldn't care less :)
Hmmm....I've played on average once every two months over the past year and a half, I don't play higher than $2, and I'm way ahead for that type of play. Over $40k.
Now compare that to someone who has hit TWO $100k royals in the past two years, yet incredibly has LOST money gambling in each of those years! Anyone see the irony of being 7-Stars yet?
" Prolific" may not be the word for it.
Rob let's get real here. First you don't have the income to play at higher limits. Second you forget that my reporting on casinos on my website generates traffic and income. Third I'm paid as a consultant for several Vegas companies that I won't mention.
You gamble more than I do. I recall some of your own $25/coin jackpot photos. I also think you must gamble more than anyone else here unless you have some sort of magic touch that gives you a royal every five hundred or so hands.
Actually ever since I met you I doubted your claims that you hit so many royals and big wins with such a small amount of play.
Of course Rob is jealous. He's portraying his life to be what he wants it to be. Why does Rob talk so much about gambling & relationships? Perhaps he has personal experience in that regard.....and comes on here acting like a psychologist. Fact is, his number one goal is to troll people online....and what better way to do that than pretend to have some awesome life, better than all of ours. He thinks we're jealous of him.....I think everyone just feels sad for him.
