This is your site and allowing mathematically impossible claims or "crackpot theories" as you call them is a reflection on the site and you specifically as owner. This is the reason few legitimate players, AP's or recreational want anything to do with this site and why we don't grow to be anything more than the shithole that it is. Vegas Casino Talk and you Todd Wittles as owner, get labeled as crackpot voodoo nonsense.
Singer's claims of winning a million plus dollars over 10 years playing -EV games are no different than some joker showing up and claiming he has won millions playing roulette by waiting for 4 consecutive blacks to appear and then betting red. It's voodoo/bullshit/nonsense. Mathematically impossible. And allowing such claims here without
constant challenges amounts to an endorsement.
Wouldn't you like this site to be taken seriously, as providing useful and mathematically sound information, instead of being viewed as a joke?
This is a forum.
I do not endorse anything written here, other than things I directly say I endorse.
People know what forums are. They've been around for about 2 decades.
Every forum has its crackpots, trolls, liars, weirdos, etc.
I don't feel I need to act as arbiter of fact and truth here. I can state my opinion, which I have many times, and then the readers can judge.
Rob's ideas are shot down by so many people that I can't imagine any sane reader coming away with the impression that he's right and everyone else is wrong. If someone does, then they aren't intelligent enough to be helped by any legitimate gambling advice here, anyway. Some people are just destined to lose because they refuse to listen to reason.
Reminds me a drive I took from LA to Vegas in around 2006. I was going back to my apartment in Vegas with my then-girlfriend, and one of her friends went along for the ride. Her friend asked me for blackjack advice. Knowing that she was mostly a beginner and didn't need to be overwhelmed with complex strategy talk, I just gave her some very basics, including the need to avoid the 6:5 tables. (Back then, these were actually avoidable at lower limits!)
I asked her a few days later how her trip went. (She got a ride back from someone else.) She told me that she lost. I asked if she stayed away from the 6:5 games. She paused and said, "Uhh... well, no, I did at first, but I wasn't getting lucky at 3:2, so I thought maybe the 6:5 ones would be luckier for me."
I felt like a fool for giving her advice in the first place.
