Go ahead and read "Dancer's" latest column. He literally makes me sick.
What is more important -- playing video poker or staying married? The answer is clear.
This guy is disgusting.
Rob, have at it. Nothing you can say is too harsh.

Red-I know the Singer - Arci battle goes back many years before my time on this Forum. But isn't this what Singer (whether right or wrong) has accused Arci of doing?
So why do you feel it's ok to bash Dancer? I'm not saying that what he did is right----but why is it ok to bash Dancer and not Arci? I actually don't think it's right to bash either for their personal and private relationship matters.
If you can't figure out the key differences between Arci and Dancer's behaviors at this point, then you either can't read or can't reason.
I can do both--and I can also cipher. So splain the difference. I still don't feel it is appropriate in either case--particularly where health issues are involved.
First, it's Bill not Bob.
I was told about this two months ago and agreed not to say anything until Dancer disclosed it. This is the beginning of the end for the guy....a sort of mercy-killing if you get my drift. And don't think it's solely about health as the column pretends; it's mainly about money. Losing from gambling addiction does that to couples. Eventually, if a situation goes uncorrected, the hammer always comes down.
Now let's look at this at face value. Dancer blames his problems on Shirley's COPD. Nice guy right? Another AP displaying his know-it-all attitude....and paying dearly for it. And notice how Dancer HAS to say something about how he's already dating somebody else. The clown just cannot talk about losing without soothing his throngs with something that he believes makes him look OK. Weird.
So, now we await arci make fun of him for living in an apartment. While we all know exactly why his house is a memory, I'm just waiting for Jean Scott to take up one of her collections for yet another failed AP. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
You're right -- it's Bill. The article was so, so ugly and bad, I lost my mind there for a second.
Why the hell would the Advisor run that article? Are they nuts?
"Dancer" tries to spin that he's not a jerk? That's his motive for writing this stuff? What is mentally wrong with him? My crack investigator says Bill Granoff is 66; "Shirley" is 65. And he comes across as some over-privileged daddy's-boy narcissist. He clearly got booted due to more than COPD. The whole COPD angle may have been a nice legal angle to keep him out of the house.
The LVAdvisor has a fine collection of professional gamblers anchoring their shop.
That's correct, running such an article about one of your company's anchors makes no sense. If people couldn't stand him before, he certainly helped the crowd along with such a totally unflattering self-expose'. I expect in time more will be released/known about why he chose COPD as an excuse....unless SHE did.
I think that Bob made it clear in the column why he has chosen to make it public: to put to rest any and all gossip about him and Shirley, and the column met with her approval both in content and in its inclusion in a public forum.
With that in mind, it's extremely shallow of all of you who are casting aspersions. The announcement is what it is and as long as both Bob and Shirley are capable of moving on, it behooves everyone here to do likewise.
I suspect that no one here has a blemish free life, so keep in mind something about "casting stones".
Dancer has always been a jerk. Don't expect Jean Scott to help him. She also dislikes him.
Gosh, I just read the article and my heart goes out to him while at the same time I wonder why they had to get divorced. Was there no way for them to remain married even if it meant that he had to live in a separate room or even an apartment? It seemed she wanted the divorce and not he and was this her way of saying I don't want you to be burdened with my illness and if so, why didn't he demand that they stay together as a couple even if they had to have separate living accommodations? It's all rather confusing, and heartbreaking when I try to put myself in both of their shoes.
At this point I think we should all step back and offer thanks that we are spared this kind of heartache. I went through two divorces and they were after relatively short marriages -- and not 17 years. Life changes like that can kill you. I wish everyone well and hope that everyone shows them understanding and compassion and they all find peace and have better health.
Yeah, Vic, this article did a fine job of putting all gossip to rest, while also explaining how women have to pass an intelligence test to be "Dancer-worthy."
Dancer's a swell dude - he waited three months until he banged his wife's friend. Until then, according to our hero, it was just dancing and hanging in the casinos.
And exactly why did the LVA run this? To help Dancer's rep around town?
This was Dancer being his usual obnoxious, self-absorbed self.
Everything Dancer does and writes is always calculated, and no doubt he's feeling somehow empowered after him reading his wife-bashing article in print--no matter the consequences to his stricken ex-wife.
Alan, from what I read I can't imagine how she could have stayed with him, seperated, in the same house. But there's so much more to this. If she meant anything at all to him, what's so wrong with their leaving the gambling world behind for the greater good....ESPECIALLY at his age, where you'd think from all his horn-tooting about his "wealth" that his so-called "vocation" is no longer needed to make ends meet in retirement. If, again at face value and if it's all true as written, then Dancer is a heartless, mindless, selfish a-hole who will be the next deserving victim of what comes around always does go around. Alan unfortunately knows divorce but I don't, I don't believe arci does, and I don't know what anyone else here has gone thru. But doing that so late in life can't possibly be a positive move, and as I suggested, is most probably the beginning of the end for this guy.
Rob, you've gotta read between the lines here. Bonnie's husband died recently, so she's gonna need instructional assistance with insurance money and so on. I doubt it's the beginning of the end. I just find it shocking that the LVAdvisor went with this column.
The other aspect to this -- obviously this didn't happen all at once. Dancer had to have known Shirley would eventually reach a point where she'd want him out of casinos. This was his months-in-the-deciding response.
You are correct Alan. This past weekend my friend's uncle committed suicide by police. It was the 1 year anniversary of his wife's death and he just couldn't live without her. He took an empty shotgun, called the police. When they came he pointed it at them and got himself killed. So how about give Dancer a break as you don't know all the facts.Originally Posted by Alan Mendelson
That being said, everything I know about him indicated he is a pud.
Redietz you're probably right but either way this shines a very bad light on him. I'm sure divorce is a killer but it appeared Dancer wasn't all that broken up over this. All I saw was that his ability to keep on playing vp trumped his relationship. That's a low blow but does he really care?
After my two divorces let me say this with authority: if he had money put away before, he doesn't have it now. And if he had problems before with his video poker losses, he will really need those free buffet comps.
I finally read the article. It reeks of the standard Dancer arrogance. He just HAD to bring in 3 women to make himself look better. Otherwise people might view the divorce as a rejection. Couldn't have that so we get to hear Dancer go on and on about what a stud he is. We're used to this here though listening to Singer and his remarks about his personal life.
A normal person would have just mentioned the divorce and that he was now seeing someone new. Period. It could have been the last paragraph in a regular article. The article was insight into narcissistic behavior. But then again, we get that constantly from Singer as well.
Man that's creepy. Read like a standard VP analysis column. Glad I never put a penny into his pocket. What a heartless bastard.
What shocks me -- regardless of the circumstances surrounding it -- is that a husband and wife could simply call it quits after 17 years.
I believe you know what you're saying. That's why I also believe this COPD, whatever that is, is real, but is not the real REASON for this mess. I agree with arci in that Dancer's readers had no need to know any of this. My guess is the guy's been frantically running all over town getting his slot club cash and freeplay etc. these last five months. And didn't he just write an article incorporating how he took his wife's opinions and expectations into account before doing something?Originally Posted by Alan Mendelson
