A challenge to Redietz

[slingshot]

You didn't cover soft profits!! WTF?

True. If you bothered to read my website I said I wanted to provide a record of Singer's Special Plays. That's all I set out to do. And that's what I did.

No where did I discuss soft profits though I did do another interview with Rob about his two books and his general beliefs about video poker. Did I question him about his actual play strategy? No.

As a matter of fact you and others continue to debate him about his play strategy without even knowing what it is. But I digress.

Redietz still has not responded to my questions in the original post, and I know he will not. He will dance around with reports about how Uri Geller was exposed and how Sports Illustrated blundered but he will not acknowledge the truth about what I did.

By the way, years ago I posted on this forum that if Bob Dancer wanted to be interviewed by me I'd be happy to interview him.

In fact, I'd like to extend an invitation to Robert Dietz. I would like to interview Mr Dietz about his business. Would you agree, Mr Dietz, to an unrestricted interview on your next trip to Las Vegas or any trip with 48 hours notice to me so I can haove my cameraman available?

I’ve seen you ask Redeitz and a few others to “leave you alone” about 10 times now, but yet you keep responding, answering in their threads, and even making threads devoted to them....are you confused?

The sad part is I'm just as guilty. I keep checking in for new info and instead of ignoring the obvious I type! Truly sad. The last interesting bit of info was the data sheet from a slot tech screen.

Redietz stop your hallucinations and just stop trolling me. I presented examples of Rob's special plays and let him explain them. I did not endorse them. Nor have I ever endorsed them. Grow up.

Robs "Special plays" will earn you LESS MONEY than optimal strategy will. That's all anyone needs to know about that nitwit.

As a matter of fact, Rob presented the math that shows that the expected return of his special plays is in fact less than the expected return of the comparable conventional plays. There is no surprise there. Thanks for reading the article. Rob said it. I reported it. Done.

This is an interesting thought. I don't really have any motivation to sit for an adversarial interview. We're not taking new people. Even if we were, we wouldn't do it in the middle or at the close of a season. So I'm not sure what my motive would be, other than demonstrating that I'm me, which is reason to put me (and Argentino) in a psycho ward. Maybe if Mr. Mendelson allowed a similar interview of himself in the other direction. Or maybe if each of the forum members submitted a question regarding sports betting for me to answer on camera. Maybe choose the 10 best questions. I'm sure Argentino and coach, with their depth of knowledge, would have interesting questions.

Anyone out there have an opinion on whether I should do this and why?

The plan here, by the way, is to do roughly 12-minute broadcasts of game analyses starting next season. Not gambling-themed, but coaching and analytically-themed with various "guest stars" on occasion. I'd like to do one or two a week, but we have some time to figure it out.

Thanks for inviting me to submit questions, I have a couple already....

Mr Ditz, why do you assume that an interview with Alan would be adversarial?

Would an adversarial interview stimulate or encourage potential new clients
to seek your services, more so than a patronizing or neutral interview?

Well, to answer the obvious, since Mr. Mendelson and I have a relationship most people would interpret as adversarial, I would expect an interview to be adversarial in some fashion. Also, since I'm not seeking any new clients, the second of your questions is irrelevant from my perspective.

I'm hoping you do a better job than this when submitting potential questions for the interview. One can always hope. And you're going to have to address me by name in the future if you want any responses. Unless you care to share your actual name. Then you can continue with the fifth grade nonsense.

[coach belly]

Does this mean that you are consenting to the interview?

[Alan Mendelson]

I would just like you to tell everyone what your business is and how you operate. What's adversarial about that redietz? Frankly you've never explained or told us what your business is or does or what you charge, etc. That's the interview I want to do.

I'm certainly not going to ask you about sports.

[MisterV]

Why ask him what his business is?

Of what possible interest could that be to any of your viewers?

Give your internet audience what they want: cheap consumer crap.

You're trolling him, alan: bad dog!

[Rob.Singer]

When you interview someone about what they say they do in gambling and the interviewee has said it is how they earn a living, the first question anyone would expect to see asked is to explain that business. MrV is as dumb as a bag of rocks.

I would like these three question answered:

1. Sportsbetting analysts seem to be a dime a dozen. What quality makes redietz believe he's special or stands out among others....why is he any different?

2. Redietz goes to great lengths to build his reputation here, and has done so for years. Why do that on this forum, which has so few interested sportsbettors that you could count them on someone's hand who is missing 3 fingers?

3. Why has redietz until this day been unable/incapable of posting his verifiable background information/self-proclaimed accolades from the internet on this forum? IE, his self-identified "PR Package".

These are the perfect questions. Problem is the interview would only last maybe a minute or two.

Maybe the interview could be managed to take place at Mr. Ditzes residence and have the opportunity to show the world the lavish lifestyle this alleged professional has; considering the success he must have accumulated since sports betting from the stone age to present. Making six digits bets with online casinos must have large rewards.

You have a better chance at winning the lottery than this ever taking place. Yet, this dumb conversation will continue for 10 or 20 more pages, giving this idiot nothing but backdoor advertising looking for any suckers that just might bite.

[redietz]

Regarding the first question by Mr. Argentino: (1) my record and reputation make me different. I have won over time, and convincingly; (2) I'm a college football specialist. College football represents 90% of all of our wagering; (3) I work on a percent of profit basis with everyone getting the same plays, more or less, depending on whether they want futures and middle shooting as part of the strategy -- who else does that? (4) I was hired by Billy Walters at one point -- that requires a reputation; (5) I already said I have no plays this week. Anyone know any "touts" who announce they have no plays a given week? Is that different enough? I have gone months some seasons before touching a Monday night game. How different is that? Due to rule changes, we'll be doing minimal NFL wagering this year. Is that, ahem, different?

Regarding Mr. Argentino's second question: I don't go to great lengths here. I did not even mention what I do for 2000 posts or more until Mr. Argentino started making ridiculous claims and actually mentioning his own sports betting expertise, on which he demonstrated he didn't really know what he was doing, but seemed unaware of that. Obviously, I'm not recruiting clients here. In fact, I'm not recruiting clients at all. I have all I can handle. Go ahead, track me down, have someone try to hire me this season. Not going to happen. Everything I have stated here is factual.

Regarding Mr. Argentino's third question: (1) "Tipsters or Gypsters?" standings are on the retro road trip thread, as is a piece from the San Francisco Chronicle verifying what "Tipsters or Gypsters?" was. Also posted is the National Conference paper and some op eds, which would not have been published without various papers verifying what I do. Other forum members have read the National Conference paper via interlibrary loan. Perhaps Mr. Argentino could present a critique the next time he chairs a G2E roundtable; (2) Mr. Mendelson, while posting PM's, seemed to have skipped the one where he verified he had seen the Race to the Super Bowl final standings, won by me; (3) getting published in The Humanist or having a print debate with the late Carl Sagan, are not "accolades." They are simply things that were published. They'll be available on my own sites after the football season, or PM me with your actual address, and I'll ship them to you after the season.


Thanks for the questions, Mr. Argentino.

Anyone who wonders about my reputation is welcome to call www.playbook.com and ask the owners, or I could provide bio pieces from various newspapers going back 40 years. I did, by the way, finish third in the Wise Guys last season. You could ask about that by calling www.playbook, also. I'm not sure anyone had a better record, but my heavier plays did not do as well, so I finished third in overall points. I needed Alabama to have covered the title game to have won.

Let me know where you find the quote where I said I make six digit wagers offshore again. I do, however, have a comic book collection worth six digits, and a personal library weighing three tons. That's not, I suspect, what the anonymous blackhole would consider a lavish lifestyle. I suspect driving the vehicle in the retro roadtrip thread is something blackhole would consider lavish. It's a good thing I'm not a capitalist, or I'd be offended.

[mickeycrimm]

Don't you think Alan should do some research by reading and analyzing the package that redietz sent him. That's kind of strange, isn't it? Alan wouldn't read the package but now wants to interview redietz. Is that how objective journalists operate?

[MisterV]

MrV is as dumb as a bag of rocks.

It's "box," not "bag:" please make a note of it.

[SLaPiNFuNK]

I'll step in and say something here...

I was the camera man who filmed any interviews with Rob. Neither of us were paid or compensated in any way for the shoots. I made the board and sourced the cards that Rob was able to use to demonstrate his special plays.

The purpose of this interview was to give Rob an outlet to discuss his plays. Alan did not say the plays are the only way to play but allowed for Rob to explain his reasons... you can do with that info as you would like.

In Alan's previous work as a journalist he never said you have to go here or have to go there... he only provides information. Like, if you are a size X shoe, this place offers floor model shoes at a discount in that size...

In his current work he does paid infomercials which are cleanly advertisements.

The work with Rob was not paid. Alan asks questions as to why so Rob can explain his special plays or strategies. Anything else you want to see it as is on you.

[MisterV]

Why would he give a damn about whether Singer "had an outlet to discuss his plays?"

Millions of people would welcome have such an "outlet" to discuss one thing or another; why'd your daddy-o single out Singer for favorable treatment?

Pity, perhaps?

You've nothing to feel righteous about, alan.
