Dancer Defines Himself Once Again

[Rob.Singer]

In yet another shameless self-expose' that should go a long way in assuring readers that what I've been saying about him for years is the spot-on truth, his new LVA article has him spouting off about what a great liar he is and has been all along. What I and many should find most distasteful is how he claimed false military service while impersonating the dead guy who actually served. To me, it's a toss-up over who the scumbag creep of the week is: Dancer....or the guy who killed the magnificent lion.

What this article does is absolutely confirm that there is nothing to believe about this "man". He's a con, he makes things up, and he lies about his video poker results. I suspect there was a lot of that going on with Shirley, and now poor Bonnie. He also attached a fair amount of pride about his ability to lie in just about any situation imagineable. What a great human being. Obama has just met his match.

I'd say the world is a far better place knowing someone like this was too cheap and selfish to ever have kids.

Great liar and a great dancer apparently. Gotta keep your story straight.

Here is the article in question: http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/bob_dancer/2015/0728.cfm

To be fair, Dancer wasn't claiming he lied about VP results or anything like that.

He was talking about how it's good to lie to the casino when explaining your heavy play during a +EV promotion (which makes sense), and also told a tale about a weird and pointless ruse he and his new wife took part in, where they faked being married for 50 years.

I got a chuckle out of the article. Often, when I go to dinner with a date and I am asked "is this a special occasion?" I say "yes, it's our anniversary." (I'm too young to say it's a golden anniversary.) Usually my date laughs out loud and ruins it -- but I always hope it might trigger a free dessert.

A few years ago I always tried for the senior discount even though I wasn't old enough. Now... they give me the senior discount without asking.

Last night I went to dinner with a friend who is a teacher. One of the waitresses was a former student and we got free desserts. Yes, I left a bigger tip -- to include the desserts had we paid for them.

I have an indifferent stance.

With that said, on Saturday night he responded to people's opinions on the VPFree forums stating

In no way did I take credit for being in the military. When Bonnie brought it up (she was thinking of her ex-husband when she said it), I did my best to change the subject immediately.

When I first became of military age back in the mid to late 60s (I was born in 1947), being in the military wasn't very popular in many quarters --- primarily due to the unpopularity of the Viet Nam War. I wasn't crazy about joining, but I tried to do so. Back then you never saw standing ovations in airports when soldiers in camo outfits walked through. Today that's pretty commonplace.

Today a very high number of Americans respect our military --- including me. Certain levels of pretending are okay with me --- and others may disagree with what's the right balance. Pretending to be ex-military when you weren't simply isn't okay with me and I would never do it

[Rob.Singer]

Dancer posted that for damage control. Posters rudely awakened him to the fact that claiming to have military service when you do not is sacred grounds these days. The only reason he tried hard to change the subject when a question arose on the cruise is because he was afraid of getting caught lying and didnt want any part of the embarrassment--not because the whole thing was wrong. Then he had the gall to state how he was all for our military and how he wanted to fight in Vietnam but his "bad health" kept him from it. You can't make this stuff up.

Dan, no he didn't admit to lying about vp...of course not. But that's his schtick: I've always known him to be a big fat liar in his articles, his Million Dollar book is filled with his proud, cunning, system-beater lifestyle habits, and he wrote a stupid book called "Sex, Lies, and Video Poker". He wrote an article boasting about his ability to cheat a motel out of breakfast, and now he writes about lying his way thru a vacation. And you don't believe he lies about gambling?

He's the one who caused all sorts of problems with the "Revel, you can't lose" promo. Basically, he's a scumbag.

[Alan Mendelson]

I wouldn't say that his lie about the golden anniversary included lying about military service. Again I take it as humorous.

When someone asks you to expand on your USAF service because he believes you served, and you don't set the record straight, it's the same as lying about it--especially in an article ABOUT lying.

You're right. But he did stop the conversation.

[Rob.Singer]

Wasn't he forced into stopping it because he had no clue how to answer the question about what he did in the AF? If he knew anything about what Bonnie's husband did for work he'd likely have kept it going and not tried to change the subject. He's lucky no one threw him overboard.

This must be a great moment for you.

I finally read the Dancer article with his 50-year pretense. What I find disturbing is that his wife would play along when her late husband was within three years of their 50th when he died. It seems enormously disrespectful to go and pretend you hit 50 with someone else. I suspect Dancer pushed the issue -- it's the kind of "playing around" that kind of steps on Bonnie's late husband's grave.

Dancer seems to treat misleading corporate entities (that are out to take your money) the same as misleading human acquaintances. While corporations have recently legally acquired "personship," to our regret, I think most people would not find it real humorous to fake being married 50 years to a recent widow or widower. Getting comped champagne on a flight under the auspices of being married 50 years is kind of sleazy.

I don't find it humorous. Maybe, and I'm sure Rob's thought of this, being married multiple times and so on anesthetizes people to respecting the concept of a couple being married 40-some years.

Dancer lacks any semblance of class. That's the bottom line.

[Alan Mendelson]

Too bad he's not here to defend himself.

[Rob.Singer]

He'd lie his way thru it anyway. Pretending to be married to "Bonnie" for 50 years is gross AND stupid. Imagine the miles on that broad. Plus how sleazy is she for going along with Dancer's ruse. The whole thing is a stomach-turner for sure. I'd rather smell mickeycrimm's raunchy cigarette & beer breath and look at his rotted out teeth for two hours than keep thinking about this one.

I find it hilarious how much Rob hates Dancer. I look forward to reading Dancer's articles each week because I know Rob is probably going to make a hate-thread on it. Any time Rob can get a chance, he'll make a derogatory post towards Dancer.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge fan of Dancer either....but my reasons are much different than Rob's reasons.

[Rob.Singer]

In case you haven't noticed, Dancer--with his abusive attitude towards women, the ways he lies to explain his working both sides of the fence, and the many very sleazy & lowlife methods in which he writes publicly about how he lives his life--incorporates ideals that should turn any decent person's stomach. Do I "hate" the guy? While his lies and overall scumbag style of living are deplorable at best, the only reason I do hate him is for leaving his wife who was ill and needed his support....and of course the jackass chose to instead continue his addiction to gambling.

RS__try and learn from the mistakes this guy makes and continues to make. It's obvious that today you couldn't care less about how someone treats another human being or how he disrespects lifelong marriages and military service. It will, however, come back to seriously bite you in the ass someday if you idolize the actions of a moron like Dancer.

[redietz]

If you have his contact info, I'll email him directly. I think he needs an editor -- badly. I suspect this article did not play well east of Sin City.

I finally have the word to describe that article -- "grotesque." I find it grotesque that someone who lost their husband three years shy of a fiftieth anniversary would enable someone like Dancer to disrespect his memory.

I have a different perspective than most here, I suspect, because my late wife died in the vicinity of our 25th. The whole Dancer schtick this article is just classless and self-absorbed.

I wouldn't have read the worthless article if it hadn't been promoted on this forum.

Who cares so much about Bob Dancer anyway?

Take a look at who started this thread. That should answer your question.
