Alan, you really need to wake up to Rob's "claims." This is a guy who admittedly lost $250,000 from 1990 to 1996 playing the game. He filed for bankruptcy in 1996 stiffing his creditors. Then he supposedly comes up with a $170,000 bankroll to continue to play the game. One of his latest statements is that he made 1.4 million from 1999 to present playing video poker. If you believe him and do the math then he would have made 1.1 million from 1990 to present. If you believe him then that's about $40,000 average per year over 28 years. And he also claims to have spent the money and didn't pay any taxes. And now the guy claims to have payed cash in the last several years for 3 homes, worth about a quarter million each, plus payed cash for 2 mobile homes.
Alan, you are an investigative journalist. Can't you find any holes in this story?
There you go again mickey, acting like a dumb msnbc "journalist" and making up your own facts about someone who just bugs the hell out of you with their success compared to your total life failure.
Here's what you failed to mention: I was an AP from '90-'96. I admit I failed overall, which to date has never been done publicly by any AP anywhere. Online, they are all "winners and smarter than anyone who gambled".
My 1996 bankruptcy simply eliminated one six figure debt, which was the only reason for filing. All those other creditors were re-affirmed. Our 7-figure 401k's were untouched. And here's where you really get lost: investments GROW over the years, and retirees use those investments to live on in retirement. Quite a different story than what street your fate led you down....right loser?
I "suddenly" came up with $170,000 in 2000? For a bum like you I can see where this would be quite the feat. I was making over $250k/yr. dummy. Discussing financial issues with someone like you is like me going into McDonald's, sitting down at your table and striking up a conversation on the stock market. Your fat ass would be planted there while your pile in the only type food you know--greasy & unhealthy--as everything else remains a mystery to you.
I see you're still pretending to know about my strategy by making more up about it on the go again. Most of it is centered around changing games--not going up or down in denomination--within the SAME denomination. There are times when losing after playing thru 400 credits in one denom. that I go up, and there are times I go down when winning. But what your simpleton mind is overtaxed by is the intricacies of what occurs in-between all that. There is no such thing as a Martingale that is guided by a game's volatility level.
I attribute that, once again, to your inability to follow anything beyond big bold letters due to a lack of education.
