Discussing Rob Singers Systems

[arcimede$]

Alan, Singer is just projecting his usual problems. Since he has no self control he assumes no one has any either.

[Alan Mendelson]

One has to wonder about self control when they walk into a casino with tens of thousands of dollars of cash in their pocket? I always thought the idea of going to a casino was to bring a little cash and go home with a lot of cash? LOL

[Rob.Singer]

Rob, you seem to think that people who don't do things your way have a problem. You use words like "compulsive" and "addicted" too often when someone doesn't follow your strict advice or method. I suggest you take a deep breath before making such criticisms and using such negative terms.

It's textbook Alan, and it has nothing to do with following my method or advice. Next time you reach a goal or play free play, then get the "urge" to stay because you don't want the action to stop, try leaving. Then report the truth about how that great struggle was resolved.

Rob, unlike you I think every time I put a dollar in a slot I consider it lost. I have no urges to stay. But when I am winning and can increase my stop loss I will keep playing. It's a discipline and a skill and a strategy that is learned.

[Rob.Singer]

I will try to believe that.

I'm over & out right now for a few days of continued non-casino activity. Oh I'll get back to punishing the machines soon enough--but I'm happy spanking them just once a month at most these days. You know, on MY terms. But I'm wondering....when was your last vacation where it did not include gambling?

[Alan Mendelson]

Rob, since I started my own business 7 years ago, I haven't had a vacation. I have a weekly TV show and in addition I have several clients who need several Infomercials a year plus commercials. It's tough running a small business when you're the chief cook and bottle washer.

Hello, Slingshot
As you probably notice I am very new to this forum -could you, please, explain how to use ARTT? in details? Or provide me with a link I can find some info about it?
I will be willing to try it this coming weekend in AC.
So far I had a great luck with RTT system-as much as I understood it. Best

I have to go to Wayback Machine archives and choose articles BEFORE 2006 as they have the most captures during that time period. Then, simply click on "more free strategies" on the left. I tried to send it, but it gave an invalid file on this site. It's fun-but you have to remember the session goals and number of credits played, as you're tempted to play on and on.

[odinoka]

OOOPS! What is "Wayback Machine archives "?
THANKS!

[Alan Mendelson]

odinoka, I think the "way back machine" refers to a service on the website www.Alexa.com. I think that when you sign up for the free membership on Alexa.com and download its toolbar you are also able to access their library of how websites looked in the past. If for example you enter this website www.alanbestbuys.com in the search bar on the Alexa.com homepage you will see our website statistics, and you will also be able to click to see how we looked in the past. This is the "way back machine."

I think this is what slingshot is talking about. Perhaps I am wrong and there is another Internet archive he is talking about.

[slingshot]

Did you type in "wayback machine"? Google should take you there. It basically takes you to a site for old and discontinued items. Simply type in VP Truth.com. for it to take you there. I'll see if I can find something to send in the meantime.

[slingshot]

OK. Hold everything. It's on this forum. Go to "A strategy question for Rob" and there are only 8 posts and one of them has both the RTT and ARTT. I just finished searching and found out the fastest way was to type in "antfanas"-who was the nice forum member to post it-and look at " A strategy question for Rob". Sorry for all the run around.

[odinoka]

Thank you! Slingshot! Found it! Can not wait to read it!
Alan, thank you to you as well!

I really wish Rob would expand on this quote because I suspect there are some very insightful sociocultural observations Rob could make regarding a VP player's urge to continue play and how the casino sets it all up.

I also wish Rob would have granted a comprehensive interview with the author of this excellent book: Addiction By Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas (by Natasha Dow Schull) <-- LINK

The author of that book made a "60 Minutes" appearance: "Slot Machines: The Big Gamble" <-- LINK

[Alan Mendelson]

I watched the 60 Minutes report, Count Room. Really, there was nothing new there. I think it was a good rehash of everything those of us who follow the gaming industry already knew or already saw debated.

A lot of Rob's procedures for what I would call dealing with casinos may be the result of what he perceives his own weaknesses to be. But I think most casino goers benefit from slot clubs, and benefit using a host, and benefit by taking advantage of comps. Of course there are dangers, but most casino goers never become addicted and never gamble more than they can afford to lose.

If there is anyone who needs to be on guard for possible addiction it should be someone who thinks they have an edge over the casino.

It all starts whenever you win and just wanna PLAY part of that win back hoping for more. I'm telling you the truth,folks.

[redietz]

That's right, Alan. The people who win from the casino need to beware of being addicted. Winning money is a terrible addiction. The people who lose to the casinos have less to be concerned about because they know the casino has an edge, so they play anyway because they're convinced it's fun and entertaining. That's not a problem.

Real gems of wisdom.

[Alan Mendelson]

redietz, I don't follow you at all??

Slingshot, several times you've indicated you have a gambling problem. Do you? And if you do why do you continue to tempt yourself by still going to casinos and even reading a forum like this?

Or, do you think you are properly managing the problem you had?

I have a close relative who was addicted to sports betting, lost everything and almost lost his life, and went thru GA programs. He is now so opposed to anything connected with gambling that if you said to him "I bet those dark clouds will mean rain before noon" he will respond with "I don't bet."
