Why Do People Seem To Care So Much About Rob Singer?

Just curious.

I read the thread about him leaving the forum or whatever and wow, people really come out of the woodwork to discuss him.

Why is that? He's basically a nobody, right? Is he the gambling forum equivalent of an lolcow or something?

From what I can tell, it's a classic acts like a duck, quacks likes a duck situation. Dude broadcasted mathematically unsound gambling advice for years, claimed to have himself discovered the double up bug (after the news stories), and posted a dodgy picture of a supposed giant VP hit.

I mean, how is what he post or his claims even a serious topic?

What's most perplexing to me is it seems one of the only people who lends him credibility is Mikey Crimm, a known sharp who obviously knows his stuff. Maybe Mick is being a contrarian to troll people?

Furthermore, every post I have ever read of his is oozing toxicity and hate. In fact, I can't recall reading a single post of his that contained cogent gambling discussion.

Oh wait, now I'm talking about him too. God damn it, he got me.

Because people pay attention to someone who is very skilled & talented.

He is very good at trolling and getting a rise out of people.

It doesn’t matter that he is not skilled at gambling.

People find him very entertaining.

Ha - fair enough.

He's entertaining in the sense that playing "Whack-A-Mole" is entertaining.

That's a really boring game after the first ten seconds; frustrating, as well.

.....oh.....

You're a sly one, aren't you? I'll have to look out for you.
