Rob Singer has been challenged -- and he accepts!!

[Alan Mendelson]

Controversial video poker professional Rob Singer, who is featured here on our website on pages where he explains his strategy, told me that he has been challenged to a contest by a member of another message board forum.

Here's what Rob told me in an email and in a phone conversation:

The challenge involves "30 hours of play on any machine, and he'll (the other message board poster) will match what I win in cash and if I lose I'll pay him the same amount."

Rob said to me -- "tell him I'll do it! And here are my conditions: I'll play 30 hours worth of sessions on my $1 thru $100 single-play strategy. Up thru the $25 machines will be at the Aquarius in Laughlin on BP & SDBP. The $100 machine, if necessary, will be at Bellagio."

For those of you not familiar with Singer's strategy, he uses a win goal, but if he loses at the low denominations he moves up to higher denominations until he wins.

Rob continued: "Because of the high limits and therefore high win/loss possibilities involved, we each will put up a $300,000 cash escrow with Anthony Curtis. (Anthony Curtis is the Publisher of the Las Vegas Advisor, and the challenge was made to Singer on the LasVegasAdvisor.com message board. I have also interviewed Anthony Curtis and you can see our videos on our Vegas-related web pages.)

Singer also told me that he'd like a 30 day notice of when the event is proposed to be held.

If the challenge or contest does take place, we will be there to videotape it and the results.

This challenge shows me that fedomalley doesn't do his homework before making his unsupportable assertions, and he doesn't really think about what he's writing.

If he had asked basically ANYONE familiar with how I play, he would have discovered that my play strategy wins the minimum $2500 in 80% to 85% of its sessions....and it never loses an entire session bankroll in the unlikely event there IS a loss. Toss in the high percentage opportunity that very large winners will be hit, and Fedo will be in for a world of hurt. I'm just wondering what in the world he and his other half will do once they lose all this money and can't sit at their machines for hours on end any longer.

Of course, far be it from me to try and talk him out of the challenge. My critics claim the many "small wins" will be wiped out by the few large losses--and more. This, mind you, is from those who don't understand the strategy, have never played it, and in several cases, has only been simulated with corrupt knowledge without the special plays that are an integral part of it all.

Let's do this! Show me your best moves Fedo!! BTW, how many times are you gonna make the dumb comment about if I were so successful at the machines then I wouldn't have retired from it and I'd still be cleaning the casinos out?

Coming from someone who has nothing outside of video poker to fill in their entertainment time, you'd never guess that I have children and grandchildren that, after netting almost a million dollars in profit directly from the machines and upon turning 60, I chose to spend my spare time with them. You see, unlike you and the missus--who are both complete opposites of us from your own incriminating posts--I have a real life here and I don't need the money. I also believe 60 is too old to be wasting a life away inside unhealthy casino environments. While you and she are getting your thrills & jollies being used by casino managers to chase all those fabulous gifts and freebies and .02% cash back offers, tournaments and quadrillion point specials and blah blah blah, I'm living my life the way I want to live it, and I'm not controlled by the machines or their end-all slot club cards.

Capish?
