Thank you Alan. This was EXACTLY my point. You reiterated my point!
Blackjack, is initially a negative EV game by about half a percent. I laid out exactly what I do to change it from -EV to +EV longterm, so that I can win (and have) longterm.
Similarly video poker that Rob is playing is also -EV by about half a percent (he admits playing negative EV games). BUT he has given us NOTHING to explain how he changes it from a longterm losing game (-EV) to a longterm winning game (+EV) in which he has made 900 thousand dollars. Nothing except smoke and mirrors and a few catch phrases like
"I'm special" and
"I do things that other players can't understand".
Alan for the hundredth time, betting systems or betting sequences like progressions, CAN NOT change a negative expectation game into a positive expectation game. THAT is what Singer claims.
Now I also play -EV video poker, and have supplemented my income for 8 years doing so. I am able to win because the mailer offers generated are disproportionally high for the amount of play I put in to generate those mailers. That is carefully calculated and planned out. If I lost more generating the free play than the free play was worth, I wouldn't do it. But the free play is worth more than what it costs to generate those free play amounts. THAT is what makes it +EV!
So again, I have explained what it is that I do that changes not one, but 2 different games that I play that are initially -EV into +EV, so that I can win...longterm. Singer has NEVER done this. He just feeds us bullshit.
"I am special". "I know and do things others don't". It's bullshit Alan. You can not change the facts. You can not change the math by willing it to be so. The casino is full of people, like you who try.
