There are to many hoops to jump thru to get redietz on PFA radio. As is, it has to be coordinated between druff, axel and redietz to get a specific date and time. Thats probably not going to happen. Druff does the show randomly.
So i think a different approach is needed. A list of questions should be put together. Questions submitted by VCT members. The list should be delivered to Druff and redietz. Redietz should be given the phone number to the show.
Druff’s radio shows go on for hours, like sometimes 9 or ten hours. He gives short notice on PFA when he’s going to do a show. Once Druff is on the air then redietz can call in.
redietz sports betting wouldn't be that interesting at all. Other than the occasional promo or good find, how interesting is sports betting?
Exactly! AND Bob Dietz or redietz would be of no interest to Dan Druff's main audience at PFA. It is only interesting to the 12 of us here. :rolleyes:Quote:

Ok. Noted. I have listened to exactly part of 1 show...the show Tasha was on.Quote:

So that said that it isn't just poker talk (which Druff clarified today), do you accountinQ think members of PFA would have much interest in Bob Dietz and his sports betting/tout career of 40 years? Just seems to me that it is only of interest to the 12 of us here. :D
I am aware there are some sports bettors at PFA. Maybe they would have interest and be saying something like "Who is this guy that doesn't seem to have a clue about what he is talking about?" :D
Red, this constant deflection and collection of cute words isn't cutting it--and it doesn't make sense.Quote:

Please quote those "roadblocks after roadblocks." Yes, I require a living, breathing person do the interview. LOL. Sue me.
But you know what? I'll even allow the resident Dracula, who comes back from the dead and from sundry beatings, to do an interview. That would be a hoot. So I won't even require the interviewer be alive. I'm loosening up in my old age.
And again, the tip-off to the kewlJ commentary is that he paraphrases and summarizes things that are blatantly false. Unlike MDawg, who uses actual direct quotes.
Whenever wizard wanted to do interviews with me I accepted whatever formats he wanted, I had zero caveats, and we got them done.
You OTOH keep saying you will do an interview with anybody anytime anywhere (including over-the-phone) yet nothing ever happens. I attribute unclear/poor communication from Dan to this forum as a major issue on WHY THE FUCK he hasn't scheduled an interview with you yet. And why are you afraid to be interviewed by Munchkin? These are the easiest formats on earth to accommodate interviews because you can do them remotely. Inserting some stupid tiny window of availability in LV is nonsense.
Stop being feckless.

Sounds like you want to interview me. Great! Anytime is fine with me. Looking forward to it.
I already said I'd do a Munchkin interview anytime, any place. Now the fact he currently has no show might be an issue for some people, but not for me. LOL. I love interviews. I love adversarial interviews. I love interviews so much if you or kewlJ don't step up to the plate, I may have to interview myself.
I'm pretty sure I can lock up another offer with a much larger audience than PFA, but I believe in sequential submissions. Tell you what -- if there's no movement here in the next couple of weeks, I'll set up my own interview for YouTube. Not sure what it'll cost, but it'd be fun.
Now I am moving in the next few weeks, barring a catastrophic flood or something (had one of those last winter), so not every, single day is free, but I'll work my ass off to make it happen. We can always broadcast from the Hard Rock in Bristol if we need some color. This packing of the library has proven to be a pain. I trimmed the library from what I thought was 5000 pounds down to 2500 a couple of years ago, but I undercounted the whole thing. We donated another thousand pounds of books the last two months, and it's still close to 2000 pounds not counting the comic books. Packing and moving this stuff is brutal. I also discovered I have 60 polo shirts -- this is really not a good thing. I need to emulate your wardrobe.
You can sub in and interview me any time. I love you that much.
I'm sure you would be the Dick Cavett of forum interviewing.
So here is the current situation:
Skype closed and I haven't yet replaced it. So I can't take calls at the moment, or connect anyone else to the show, unless I use something like Zoom.
We actually could do a Zoom show, if you really wanted to show some stuff on video.
I am usually against doing video shows, but I did one on election night, and it went fairly well, so I guess I can do it again.
My original intent was to get redietz on GWAE because so many other professional sports bettors had been on the podcast. I wanted redietz take on measuring EV in sports betting to be exposed to them so perhaps a debate amongst professionals would commence. I would like to see this issue take center stage among pro sports bettor discussions for awhile to show us amateurs how they think about it and if they have any measuring techniques. Walters system in his book clearly shows his way of measuring EV. So what do these other pro bettors think?
I don't think a PFA podcast will bring the issue to light with top sports bettors. I think I will have to take a different route to try to bring this issue up among the elites. And that may or may not include redietz.
As it stands I'm just not that enthralled with a redietz appearance on PFA radio.
You know what readers got out of that rap? That you're nervous an interview is starting to get real, which is why you fall right back into your usual diversion of using a weird array of corny phrases and meaningless dry humor as cover for why you're so afraid of being interviewed, ever.Quote:

Just man-up and do an interview, and stop choking with the excuses and nonsense. If you WANT an interview to happen, it will.
I assume one can attend Zoom without the video? Have you attempted to use Discord?Quote:

Rob, I am mightily disappointed. Surely you could find time to debunk me. I mean, c'mon, I'm afraid of being interviewed. The evidence is all there. So just man up and do it, baby. Do everyone a service.
I know nothing about Skype, Zoom, and all that either, although my superior half's daughter taught college courses via Zoom. Somebody could hold my hand through it, I guess.
And if all else fails, I'm in LV August 5-9 and could do it then, or I could return another time just to do the interview. I love LV in the summer, after all. Usual routine, three nights at the Nugget, then a fourth night on the fly. Be there or be square.
In all seriousness, it probably makes the most sense to interview a football handicapper in August before the season starts. Then you're clear of the WSOP and in the middle of Circa celebrating its latest class of Sports Betting Hall of Famers. So there is some logical rationale for interviewing in August. But, as I have said repeatedly, I am up for any time/any place.
Since I'm going through all my old stuff, I will try to post a couple of related things. I did an interview prior to the 1980 Super Bowl after I had a killer ATS year with my column in the Citizen-Standard. The interview was with another paper since the Citizen-Standard was a weekly. Then there's the bio in 1984's Who's Who in Sports Gambling, written by Rick Hall, who became born again and went on a quest to clean up the tout business. Neither interview aged particularly well, but anything that comes out of your mouth when you're in your 20's has a habit of not aging well. I will endeavor to post them if I get some time this week.
I'm stock up on Guinness and cashew awaiting the r-e-dietz up coming appearance on the Dan Druff radio-show, hey hey.
If Redietz knew how to entertain and tried then he could be a pretty good guest.Quote:

His problem is he gets all tied up in being defensive and trying to prove something by insulting the better bettors. Dude has plenty of life experience. I think it would maybe need some preparation so he would have it planned out and maybe thats not what an interview is? But this is a podcast - not so much an interview.
But this won't happen ... He'll just be annoying because he can't help himself.
If I find a cloud based solution to do interviews/callins, would you be willing to interview Redietz?Quote:
