Here's the problem with 25-cent video poker: except for Pechanga I won't find anything that approaches full pay. Yes, I think Pechanga has various full pay games at 25-cents.Quote:

If I am not playing full pay 8/5 Bonus I could be playing craps where I think it is possible to be way ahead with the Small, Tall, All bets.
QThis was considering the SPS, there are others. But I'm officially outta this 'cause I don't foresee anything happening. I don't see my having any value on this forum.Quote:

Food for thought, my friend.
Honestly, Alan, the current publisher would probably talk to you regarding Rob and his exit. You have the profile to get whatever information you want.
I am more interested in your constant attacks of Rob, redietz. It appears to me that 95% of your posts are nothing but attacks against Rob.
Food for thought.
I did a google search on Singer/Arci (yes they are joined at the hip on google) and found they have been at this for years, going on its second decade. Tens of thousands of posts all saying essentially the same thing. Challenges, debates, bets, claims, counter-claims, insults on forum after forum, dragging people in along the way. It seems there is a symbiotic relationship at work here, the principal members deriving some strange satisfaction from the exchanges. Damned if I can figure out the point of the whole thing.Quote:

If someone offers to become an authority figure in an active way in your life, then you need only ask him/her for a resume. Real resumes should have plenty of worthy references. Check out the references. A few simple phone calls to the institutions/institutes listed.
How do most people lose sight of this? If you're not an employer, then an you're employed. Right? Yet so many "decades" of miscommunication later,... .
If you still believe that Rob, the Wizard, or anyone other than Alan is going to post a simple resume here - something quick, easy, unobtrusive, and the least expected - then I have some swamp land on the moon for sale. Alan isn't even trying to promote something.
(Shackleford worked a piecemeal slot machine analyst job which he openly admitting to hating, for years, and now claims he's some sort of special actuary and mathematician. He taught a mickey mouse gambling-101 course for a semester or two, and suddenly he's an adjunct professor of some sort. He couldn't leave out the 'adjunct', untenured or bottom rung sympathy try-out part because that would be too big a stretch. Someone might call the UNLV (of all places) about it. Nevada has the worst education system of all the states.)
You could just ignore him now.Quote:

While it's understandable he's focusing on the 85%+ aspect as a way out of the whole thing, he has yet to answer why he can't go with the $10k/$12.5k minimum profiting in 4/5 sessions? Is he finally capitulating to the fact that there just MAY be one or more of something called a "huge winner" or a losing session just may not be THAT big, over the 4 or 5 sessions?
As he conjures up an answer to that, let's address his Gaming Today criticisms. First, no one who understands what's going on in the real world reads or respects the NY Times anymore. And while he always tries so hard to give the perception that the GT Publisher fired me for lying or whatever he's asserting, I left after nearly 8 years because the owner who sought me out after firing Dancer & Skip Hughes died, and his wife only wanted me to write about my strategies and not keep posting trip reports and undressing vp "AP's" every week with logic--which her husband LOVED. I was told that if I wanted to keep my column going I had to do it her way. I chose not to and stopped sending in articles. And unlike Elliott Fromm, Dancer, Skip Hughes and every one of the GT gambling "experts" over the years, I was offered pay and never took a penny. I told Chuck DiRocco from the beginning that if a writer actually WON money from the game they played, there was no reason to need pay also. He agreed with me that those who were paid did not win, and it is such an obvious observation. The BS about them "only wanting" a little more income "on the side" is cover for failure. You people actually think Dancer wins anything? And the only book author aside from myself who I believe does not lose is Frank Kneeland....but he never lost because he never played with his own money. The rest of them are as transparent as cheap cheesecloth.
Red, if you have an issue with my telling others "they will win---just play my way!" then you never read with any sort of understanding. I have always explained what I've done to be successful, and I believe that if anyone else wanted to learn what I've done exactly the way I do it, then there's a real good chance they'll experience what I have. Unlike the other "experts" I don't sell strategy, I train and advise always at no charge, and I've offered to prove I win at the machines many times. Have any of them? Or do they simply say "play +EV and you'll win/play -EV and you'll lose"---and such simplicity quenches your thirst for "proof"? Theory proves nothing, which everyone knows. Please wise up.
Keno Lil was written by David Stratton's (GT's Managing Editor for all the years I wrote for them but he's retired now) wife. He published that column because they had no real keno "expert" (like mickeycrimm--bwahahahahahaha) so he got her to do it. We never knew if any of it was for fun or what.
BTW we went to the Musical Instrument Museum in Phx. yesterday. I don't imagine a place like that would be very interesting to most of you because it doesn't have any vp machines or BJ tables. But we walked around and took it all in for over 3 hours and it was kind of unbelievable. Get there if you can.
For this ridiculous subject matter being on page 7 currently makes this forum totally useless. Rob and Alan are just two lonely people that thrive on attention. More so Alan who is an alleged big time advertising guy, yet he spends 6-8 hours a day on here.
Whatever, I've moved on
Neither is away from a keyboard too long, so I guess they need each other. There are people still investigating Bigfoot. I say, let the the saga continue.Quote:

Looking back, I'm glad that I didn't come across this place seven years ago. Would have spoiled the journey.
This is an endless journey Bill Yung. I found the forum several years ago when I was trying to explain to a friend of mine about this Singer guy whose articles I used to read in Gaming Today. I could no longer find his website and googled up this forum. I got hooked by the same Arci-Singer fight that is still going on to this day.
Should just put them in a cage match and end it.
