I still don't understand the importance of where one lives, whether they rent or own, or the size of their home? I rent a two bedroom, two bath apartment and live with a blue eyed red head who makes me feel like a millionaire.

I still don't understand the importance of where one lives, whether they rent or own, or the size of their home? I rent a two bedroom, two bath apartment and live with a blue eyed red head who makes me feel like a millionaire.
Pardon my intrusion, but there's houses, then there's homes. I'm thankful to have a home.
So, it is now clearly evident I was right. No name on the property deed means it is not the little man's house. This means it is a rental of some type. LOLOLOLOLOL.
Now we know why Singer wouldn't come clean with the name of the golf course. Naturally, Singer's lies never fooled anyone. It is amazing he actually believes they did.
On top of that we now hear about more houses for which there are no ownership papers. Is that other house located in the storage bin along with those mythical papers you promised to provide 3 years ago?
I've been trying to say that Alan because you're 100% right of course. The problem these guys have is, with my being a public person, they can't handle that I've done so well in vp, they aren't happy with the fact that I have a long successful marriage & a tight-knit family, they're probably sore at thought of my being someone who actually saved and prepared to play vp professionally when they helter-skelter it, and they DEFINITELY can't deal with how we live and how many properties we've been able to buy. If they think somebody they despise has or is more successful than them, they panic and attack.Quote:

What the issue is here is obviously the haves vs, the have-nots. I only posted pics of our home to irritate arci. Spock was an expected bonus of course. What other kind of person gets so giddy over discovering a way to get a free room at SP of all places, and now Dan's got him worried to death over a $14 fee. My guess is he's already located our SD home as well as my retirement account. He never peeps a word when he's speechless--just stews inside. And arci....he's already had a gut-wrenching event in 8/2014. He simply doesn't want to hear about any more RS success stories because there's only so much he can take. He can create any kind of story about me in his mind that he likes: that's what people do to cope, right? But I'll be his next-state-over neighbor in the summers from now on. Maybe we can get together with him and his sister.
If this is a "rental" arci, we got the best deal ever: No Payment :)
Yes, you understand what is important. Singer does not because of his malignant narcissism. All he can ever think about is himself and how to make himself look important. All he has ever accomplished is making it obvious he is a nobody.Quote:

I'm thinking of traveling around and taking photos of the places I hang my hat in an effort to imply I own them. I'll never actually state that I own them of course; they'll be my "homes," not my houses.
I'll start posting next week. Some of you might recognize my 50,700 square foot mansion. I call it Red Roof, after the color of the tiles. There's also my vacation home in Orange, where I store the Lamborghini.
By the way, my brother tried that "carpeted the basement, bought another bed, and now I add 1500 square feet to the home" trick. It doesn't fly with realtors.
That would be a good deal. However, it still completely refutes your claims of owning the house. You've once again shown us you are a liar. So, instead of lying about your situation, why don't you tell the truth? If what Alan said was right (and it was), then why do you feel you need to lie?Quote:

Here's the bottom line for me: what difference does it make where Rob lives or how much money he has in the bank, or what he drives and what difference does it make where Bob Dancer lives or how much money he has in the bank, or what he drives -- will their info help me win playing video poker?
Now to answer my question: I play following the conventional strategy of Bob Dancer. Thank you Bob for your articles, the class I took with you, your software. Rob has also opened my eyes to the need for win goals and loss limits because I have found that his hit and run theory really has paid off for me. I also like the idea of certain "special plays" but I've only had occasion to use ONE in Bonus Poker just ONCE and ONE in Triple Double Bonus Poker just ONCE. The Bonus special play worked and I drew the 4th ace when I broke up a full house on 8/5 Bonus. The Triple Double Bonus special play did not work when I had three aces with a kicker and dropped the kicker.
Actually, and I'm sure everyone will agree, that dropping the kicker doubles your chances at getting the last ace. Although the EV is lower, it also dramatically lowers the variance.
You sure got me there Rob. I've just been stewing all night. I sure wish I was an exceptional citizen with a loving family like you so I had something to occupy my time. It's kind of amazing how with so much fantastic experiences in your life you still find time to constantly post here, at all hours of the day, day after day after day. Finding time to make over 4,000 posts here and have such a fulfilling life is truly an accomplishment. It's a good thing you wrote that column a few years ago about how addicting forums could be and how you managed to beat the addiction or you might have ended up being one of the highest posters here. And if only I could have a Lexus, and a Hellcat, and a Corvette, and drink $500 and up scotch, and buy 2 huge RV's in just a few years, and, of course, have FOUR CELL PHONES which is the ultimate gauge of really making it. And thanks so much for never, ever trying to throw that in our faces.
Or it could be that even though showing your proclivity for "stretching the truth" is wonderfully entertaining I actually have better things to do. What a maroon.
Like most people, I don't care a whit about the house. Mine has the same relative value, but I'd rather live in a tent in the woods than be stacked together that close to other people. Good Lord, you might get stuck with an ugly, overbearing troll with delusions of grandeur as your neighbor. As usual, the only issue is whether the house posts accurately reflect reality because if there are patterns of being loose with the truth that probably bleeds into a lot more than just one post.
And thanks so much Rob for setting me straight. Of course I do have a few questions about what you wrote, mostly because your statements seem to have a little bit of a problem. You know, pesky math stuff.
The statistics at the assessor's office, (as well as other online listings), clearly state the livable space as:
(The above taken directly from the assessor's web site)
You stated you included the garage, because you "spend so much time using it". There's much that could be said about this, such as anyone with even a novice knowledge of real estate knows that "living" space is the only thing counted, that it's hard to imagine anyone spending so much time in such a cramped space with all the stuff in there, or that the only reason someone would try to use garage space as living space is because they are trying to impress people, but I won't mention any of that.
This is the floor plan of the main level:
(also taken directly from the assessors web site)
The cut corner lowers the footage a bit in the garage, but we'll just call it 21 x 30 which equals 630 Sq. Ft. That brings the grand total to 3,170 Sq. Ft.
4,100 - 3,170 = 930
WOW! That's a HUGE addition! And this is where I'm having a little trouble with the math.
Here's a view of the house taken from a pigeon cam, (or maybe it was Google Earth, I can't remember):
There certainly isn't room on the left side for an addition, the front is ruled by setback requirements, and the rear has the pool and Rob's pictures confirmed no addition there so that leaves only the right side. Zoning requirements in that area require a 15' setback from the property line, which seems to be pretty close to what it now is.
But we'll go ahead and ignore that because as we all know cities don't care about their rules and regulations so they'll just let you build whatever you want.
So the length of the house on that side is 39'. A 39' addition of 930 sq ft would be about 24' wide. I'm pretty sure the neighbors wouldn't like that. Now I suppose a 2 story addition might work, but then there are those damn setback rules to think about because it would be 5' or less from the property line.
Why don't you take a picture of the addition Rob so we can see what your final solution was?
Looks like a nice house to me.
Agree. Although I'm not a fan of garages blocking my view out front and neighbors that close.Quote:

You can't count the garage as square footage. May as well count the roof if you're going to make up your own rules. Stick an umbrella on the roof and call it a sun room.
If Rob wants to turn a 2500 square foot home into a 4100 square foot home by counting the garage and an invisible addition (and maybe the sun room roof), let's just call them "special plays."
Does this mean the schlong is now being subject to "cutbacks" as well?Quote:

I understand that most people would never trust a child in this manner. Not so with our family.
I knew this thread would get a lot of attention and create angst for the haters. I chose to consider the garage as livable space (esp. in Az.) to pump up the jealousy factor. That worked; look at spock's reaction. Indeed, when he recalls & repeats all that I've said we've bought & done over the years, you can be sure he never gets a moments rest. That's the fun part. And that's all this is to me--FUN. You & I trade insults and we both enjoy doing it. Spock is actually hurt by my existence & OUR success and keeps showing that trait. So I keep stoking it. And the time he must spend on me....absolutely hilarious. That's why I throw him a bone every now and then. Here's more: I mentioned our summer house in is SD. My motorbike has a SD plate which can be read. Our retirement accounts are with T. Rowe Price. The storage locker Alan makes fun of is no longer rented by me. The 2009 Corvette? My son agreed to store it in his 3rd stall of the garage in the house we bought them. Good decision son. The vp paperwork is now all here! The Hellcat is on its way. And after a month or two drive around the country to visit friends and relatives starting in mid-May, we'll be in SD until Fall.
So spock....that oughta be enuf clues to keep you busy for the next few years. Just keep your head on tightly :) He's STILL trying to discredit that $16k royal I recently posted. What's that--I'm a photoshop maniac??
4100 is to 2500 as 9.5 is to 5.8 ... sounds about right.Quote:

Alan, the problem is that Rob is (once again) lying. He just said so. To him, it's just fun...it makes people mad and yada yada ya. Do you think it's possible he does the same thing with his special plays or his big jackpots? Wise up. :)
Whitepages.com lists no current residents. It does show a Marissa Argentino as a former owner.
Since I don't use his special plays except twice that's a non issue for me. Whether he won big jackpots or not is also a non issue for me since I neither funded his play nor receive a percentage of his winnings.Quote:

Which is kind of interesting as there is no record of any deed transfers to Singer's daughter (although it does take up to a year for the records to get updated). The record shows the current owner is a Robert D Arthur (as of 3/2013).Quote:

This is true enough. However, Alan is a respected journalist, and Rob was featured in some of Alan's videos. That would provide Rob some gravitas. If the readers haven't taken some probability courses or aren't familiar with gambling, Rob would at first glance appear to have reasonable credibility.Quote:

While I don't use them, they do have a value. It may be a limited value, but there is a value there.
Frankly, I can't argue with the idea of dropping a kicker in Triple Double Bonus when dealt three aces -- improving your chance for the fourth ace. But only once in my life have I been dealt three aces with a kicker -- I dropped the kicker -- but it made no difference.
Once I was deep in the hole with a full house with three aces in Aces and Faces (like Bonus). I held the three aces and picked up the fourth ace for a $2,000 payoff. That special play worked HOWEVER it wasn't one of Rob's true special plays. In 8/5 he HOLDS the full house. I made an adaptation of his special play. His special play is for 7/5 Bonus. And Bob Dancer would also hold the three aces in 6/5 Bonus.
Frankly redietz it seems your entire purpose here is to put down Rob. You don't seem to share your sports knowledge or betting strategies or offer ideas to the best of my memory. You do post about your championships but you don't take the risk of telling us how you are going to get there.
I noticed it from the beginning that your purpose here seemed to be to establish yourself as the king of gambling knowledge. You've made claims and quoted psychologists and police sources, but we really haven't seen your gambling knowledge at work.
"Rob would at first glance appear to have reasonable credibility."
Reasonable credibility about what? I see a retired mid tier civil servant with a pension living in suburban hell in AZ. He burned through his savings gambling, declared bankruptcy, then resurrected himself as a "former" gambling addict with a new and improved plan. I would say the smartest thing he did was limit his casino visits.
If you look at Alan's site, he has hundreds of articles on gambling. Tips, do's and don't, various systems, etc. He's putting all the information out there, good and bad, so that consumers can make an informed decision. I didn't look through them all, but I imagine Gene Scott and Bob Dancer and a host of others are referenced in there somewhere. Imagine, treating adults like adults.
I don't think you will find much honesty or credibility on any gambling site. People don't discuss the losses, only the wins.
Alan, you said you were deep in the hole when you held the 3 A's. A full house would have done very little to help. So this play I feel he WOULD have held- WIN GOAL!!Quote:

I hate losing. If I had ANY chance at a play to turn it into a winning session instead of a win to just prolong the session, I would take it. Alan was smart enough to do that. Sure, he's lost before-we all do.
This is bad extrapolation as part of an agenda driven by a lack of knowledge and a keen misunderstanding. Where is it written that another FH couldn't result? This is the same type of misrepresented argument I hear all the time about "all the many small wins will eventually be wiped out by that one big loss that undoubtedly will come along" that continuously and curiously never mentions that the big winners "undoubtedly" will come along far more often than the big losers.Quote:

I don't mind redietz Alan. There are different variants of envy here over my continued success playing video poker, the methods which I developed in order to do exceedingly well, how I live my retirement and spend what really is a small overall portion of it on my children, the cars I choose to buy from our 7-figure retirement accounts (find them yet spock?), and the great family & extraordinary good health I've been rewarded with for a lifetime of preparation, decent living, and for making mostly the proper choices over the years.
Someone like red--a true hack in his own right, but what phony gambling expert wouldn't appear to be just that when faced with that which overwhelms him--is not really unlike the others who can only bring up a 20-yr. old bankruptcy, keep posting my real last name, and make up whatever they want hoping it'll compensate for their incompetencies and lack of success in life compared to mine.
All in all, I suggest these people sign up for that one free mid-week night at the South Point. It'll make them feel like big shots, even if they drive in with their junkers. And if they get charged a $14 resort fee, just complain about it here and eat less donuts for breakfast until the difference is mitigated. In the meantime you won't see me there or even here too often, even though I'm probably close to $70k ahead of the place lifetime. We're having two bathrooms remodeled over the next two months, and we're planning our summer trip.
DAMN that Singer for bragging.....
Just because he hit a 1 in 23 1/2 shot doesn't make it smart. Whether you make the right play or not, it's just good timing. Like I said, he's still in the hole so it's a moot point.
Nobody believes a word you type, so it doesn't matter what you think.Quote:

My primary interest in this forum has always been Rob, who is a classic paranormal claimant, and his relationship with Alan, who is the classic respectable media person involved with a paranormal claimant. Alan's selling of the forum has let the air out of my balloon a bit, but the archives are priceless.
I'm not sure how to respond to Alan's claims that I contribute nothing here. I've always felt that anyone who wins and endeavors to explain how either has 10 days to live or is an idiot or really wanted to be president of a frat. My little summary of how to numbers shop for novices in Las Vegas for March Madness, I thought, was an okay contribution. I was more than happy to give bargain tips regarding free shows and dollar shrimp cocktails. I've stayed in Las Vegas hotel rooms at least 1500 nights, so I have some expertise on just about every place, with the exception of Bellagio and the Venetian.
Rob regards me as "a hack." As a sports writer, I find that almost a compliment. I just won and finished third in season-long handicapping contests with thousands of entrants. I apologize for not meeting Rob's standards. I'll try to do better next season.
LOL -- that's cutting to the chase. I cannot believe I've never thought to ask that question.Quote:

Alan, that really wasn't an answer to the question. You know that. I know that. RS knows that.
So, just to be clear, the question was, "Do you [Alan Mendelson] believe the things Rob writes?"
And I don't blame you for not answering.
Being an outsider looking in Alan comes to aid Rob just about everytime someone comes after him. Yet he states why should anyone care where anyone lives or gambles at. But he continued to comment daily in this ridiculous subject matter. My thoughts on Rob will remain my own.
Look who's back.

You should try putting 2 and 2 together. If you think he's lying about all that ***** why do you think he's telling the truth when it comes to VP?Quote:

It's hard to believe, but if you track down the opening year of USA Today (1982), their sports section featured two full pages of ads for sports services. Here's the thing -- the services were claiming records like 66-7 against the spread and 99-11 against the spread and so on. Big eighth page ads making completely unverifiable, ridiculous claims. But nobody in a position to make decisions about running the ads understood what was or wasn't possible. No expertise and no grasp of the math equaled a lot of nonsense being read by millions of Americans. Alan was kind of stuck in the same position as those first decision-makers for USA Today.
The USA Today people were deluged with complaints, and changed their stance regarding the ads. I don't remember if the ads were pulled the second or third year, but they were eventually pulled.
What did I present about Rob Singer's system? I presented his special plays. There are no lies. He clearly stated the math for his special plays which he admits are at a disadvantage to conventional play.
He also presented his opinions about machines being not totally random. That's his opinion.
He also discussed having win goals and loss limits. Again, an opinion.
Everything else Rob said: his cars, RVs, the storage locker I have no comment on. Except I have wondered if the storage locker also contains the answers to:
1. Where is Jimmy Hoffa?
2. How were the pyramids built?
3. Was there a second gunman at Dealey Plaza?
Why should I doubt his reported big wins? People who play high denomination video poker hit big wins. Heck, I've played $25 video poker a very small number of hands and I hit a $100,000 royal. Things like this happen.
As far as the RVs, the money, the houses, I don't care. But Rob did invite me and Linda to his home for Thanksgiving and that is true. That's all I can say is true. And I don't care about the rest of it.
I think Alan's in denial..
Denial of what? What you guys are making a big deal about means nothing to me. Frankly I don't care if any of you win money. I only care about the information you have that will help me win money.Quote:

This forum was of no use to me which is why it now belongs to Dan.
Arc has given me useful information from time to time. Some of the others here have also shared useful information about Total Rewards, and Vegas casinos, and so forth. The criticisms of Rob Singer won't help me make a bet or buy a gallon of gas. And I can make up my own mind about which of Rob's strategies or methodologies I choose to utilize -- and those I choose are very limited.
Frankly Rob is just as silly as the rest of you -- discussing cars and RVs and houses. This isn't a forum for cars, or RVs or real estate.
All of you should grow up.
There's nothing wrong with Alan giving him a platform to speak even though he may not agree with what's being said.
Thank you and well said.Quote:

Alan says the AP's won't share information, and are therefore of no value to him. Let me address the second point. Alan plays video poker at CET properties in Las Vegas as a major component of his gambling. I don't know how many times or how many different ways I can say, "This is a really dumb idea if you're trying to win." So let me be clear, "If playing video poker in Las Vegas at CET properties or at MGM/Mandalay properties is a major component of your gambling, God, Allah, and a contract with the devil aren't going to help you win." So you can't really expect APs to help you win.
One can see why Rob Singer's strategies appealed to Alan. He wasn't going to have to change his games of choice, or his properties of choice, or his behaviors of choice.
As to the first point, namely that AP's aren't holding hands with everyone and singing their strategies. I have said this before, but anyone who wins who explains how they win either has 10 days to live, is an idiot, or wanted to be president of a frat. In horse racing, betting is parimutuel. In sports, it's not parimutuel, but it has negative effects. You can't just blab what you're doing.
I don't know if people really want to win. Would Alan trade his Caesars rooms and Seven Star status and playing whatever games he wants for staying at the Red Rock or the Orleans and strictly adhering to playing certain games on certain days? Would he follow a sports handicapper's advice to the letter regarding which teams to play if it required making wagers at specific times and days each week at specific properties? Or does he prefer his recreational status and label? Would he rather be who he is and blow 10K a year or be someone else and win 1K? If you don't really want to win, why act as if AP's are letting you down?
If you want to win, you really, really have to want to win, and for most people even that isn't nearly enough.
Redietz I don't go to Caesars or even to Vegas primarily to gamble. I could gamble in Southern California. In fact, there is better video poker in Southern California than in Vegas and certainly than at Caesars or at Bellagio.
Now, I don't even gamble in Southern Cal casinos.
So why do I go to Vegas? I go for the dining, the shows, and yes to play a game I can't play in SoCal and that is dice craps.
But you make a big deal out of winning or the need to win. This is recreation for me, always has been and always will be. I accept that recreation comes with a price tag which is why I arrive in Vegas a happy camper and I leave Vegas win or lose a happy camper.
Do I "really, really" want to win? Sure it would be nice. But give me a relaxing time, watching some movies with room service, some laughs, a great steak dinner, a little excitement and I'm good.
I guess I don't take this gambling stuff as seriously as you and some others do.
This subject should be locked permanently.
redietz, you're only giving viewers one more reason proving why you're a hack. Alan says he loses at vp so you believe that because it somehow makes you feel good. I say I win at vp and you not only don't want to believe it---you spend an enormous amount of time saying dumb things about me out of irritation because that little voice in the back of your mind is telling you that I actually do win, which of course is bothersome to you, enough so that you also wish I didn't have these other success in life.
Do you contribute anything of value here other than do what a few others do and claim you know more about gambling than the rest but offer no support or strategies whatsoever? Nope. And any intelligent person would conclude there's no more reality about your claims than the nonsense LSH spewed.
Wise up.
Not a bad post, Rob. Heaven forbid you revealed my win/loss statements from Bellagio and Caesars from last year.
Uh, Rob, my winning and placing third in handicapping contests with thousands of people were seen by thousands of people. My finishing second in Linemasters' Bowl Contest, while not as high profile as the others, required some skill.
I see the problem here. I do things witnessed by thousands of people over the length of a football season in full public view. That, of course, in your mind constitutes no evidence of anything. Fair enough.
If things don't take place in the mind of Rob Singer, they must not take place at all.
P.S. I just checked, and they still have my little bronze trophy posted in the contest I finished third. Also just checked LineMasters' standings. I'm still posted there as finishing second. Glad I checked -- Rob had me convinced I had hallucinated it all.
redietz I don't think anyone challenges your wins and website trophies. You sent me links but you never posted them here for others to see, if I recall. Why won't you simply post the links?
Then I need to know why you keep challenging Rob? He certainly has posted photos of his wins and had a newspaper column for years reporting his wins. I doubt a newspaper publisher would allow Rob to fabricate reports of his own wins, even if it was a free, hand-out paper you picked up by the entrance to casinos.
