No it can't be supported with the math, but it did occur....and given the same circumstances it would happen again. Good luck cannot be predicted, but it can be prepared for. I'm a master of that.

    Like mickey, I've seen the light. I took Rob's words above to heart, drove to Cherokee this morning, and used ARTT to make 75K in just under six hours. I didn't want anyone to notice me using a host, so I cleverly drove home, tagged my garage, and will drive back tonight.

    All this time, all these years, I've been using expertise acquired over decades. I realize now that hard work (is that measured in calories or time -- should I use a fitbit or a time clock?), determination (I have oodles of that), and being prepared for good luck are what matter.

    This professional gambling schtick just got a whole lot easier. I owe it all to Rob. Thanks, buddy!

    I've also learned from Rob that being CIA-slick is the way to go. No W2G's (I bribed the Cherokee), no credit card gasoline or food receipts (I travel with cash), and no tax burden. No phone records. If anybody asks, I was at the library, studying football. Even my girlfriend and neighbors don't know. Plus Cherokee let me borrow a vp machine so I can practice at home for three or four months. The faster you play, the more you win.

    Ummm, if anybody asks, I made all of this up because anybody doing it would be breaking a few laws (pssst, it's all really true, but I won't verify that for a couple of years - you know, statutes of limitations).

    See you guys later. I'm off to...the library. Yeah, the library. That's the ticket.
    Redietz, you're pulling the same bullshit as KJ. I've never endorsed Rob's video poker system which has nothing to do with the double up bug. But you and your worthless buddy, KJ keep pushing that bullshit. All you phony assholes are doing is trolling. You call others out for trolling, take offense at what they say, hold grudges because of it, but you two are front line trolls yourselves. So shove it up your ass.
    Actually, mickey, you did (briefly) expound on the idea that the free play garnered using "Singer's" style of play could push a player into the black. I had no qualms with you saying that, especially since I basically posted similar comments a couple of years prior to you joining this forum. There are definite advantages to playing like a martingale madman in terms of garnering comp attention. The voodoo style, in years past, may have boosted certain offers and created a helpful profile.

    The problem I have with your current style of commentary is that you, as you said, "don't endorse" the various voodoo systems. But you don't shoot them down, either. You stay low key and quiet regarding the voodoo these days, whereas a couple of years ago you would have addressed every nonsensical "Singer" post, like the one I just commented about.

    The striking thing isn't that I bothered to comment on the "Singer" post about luck, determination, and all that. The striking thing, if you were to survey all the years and thousands of posts on this forum, is that mickey crimm did not.

    Axel, I don't think I ever laid into you regarding much of anything. Sometimes people conflate my posts with some of kewlJ's. The only disagreement I remember with you was regarding people like Shackleford or Ferguson (Wong) not only publicizing sports betting plays, but acting as if they discovered them. You think it's okay; I think they should have their hands cut off. I don't really use angles like that, so it doesn't affect me much, but it does affect other people. Other than that, I think it's a little ironic or weird that you technically claim that you don't aspire to be on the prow of a public ship, but you have about 30,000 posts floating around the gambling ether. Not a big deal. To each his own.

    I'm not going to go back and rehash the specific post because that would probably entail mentioning other members names I wish not too. I'm not the only one that notice something different and made a correlation. Perhaps it was all just coincidental I'll chalk it up to that and move on.

    If you go back and read some of my posts, I too said Mike didn't discover various techniques, specifically the half-point parlay method. I was betting on those long before I ever knew Mike. I also don't like when anyone posts up TMI. I went on and on about killing the Golden Goose/ loose lips sink ships/ over on Wizard of Vegas and here. I'm probably more outspoken about that than anybody else on the forms I visit. I've been bitching about this stuff since Skip Hughes page came out in the 90s(now VPfree). I have specifically blamed Mike for indirectly helping kill certain plays by exposing them on a site both publicly and privately.

    That's 30,000 post over many years. As I said before, I've met a lot of good people from these forums I made some good friends some who I suspect I'll know I'll be friends with for the rest of my life. It's also been beneficial for me and others financially. It's also a form of fun, entertainment and information. An approach to do various public things and I have turned all of them down. I don't have a blog, website, Instagram, Facebook what's a moniker of AW talking about Advantage play or trying to get my name out there. So I don't know how anyone can accuse me of "being on the prow of a public ship".

    I kind of get it, but perhaps in the opposite way, I don't like when people say bad things about people I like.
    Redietz lost all credibility with his continual manufacturing of "facts" on the Gay Thread at WoV. That was a real eye opener. Redietz has no problem making up his own facts and pushing it as the truth. He holds it against Singer for all the mud thrown at him. But he has thrown just as much mud at Singer. He's exposed himself as just another troll getting his jollies off trolling others.

    Yes, I have made many a post against Singer's video poker system. Am I going to do it in perpetuity to placate you? No. The one thing about KJ's continual bashing of Singer that tired me was the redundancy of it. Over and over and over and over and....saying the same thing over and over again. Hey! Get a life, dammit.

    KJ started trolling me because of my opinion that it's highly likely Rob put down the double up play. That was despicable. You backed him up and trolled me too. You are trolling me now. And you think I'm supposed to go after Singer? You and your buddy KJ are the assclowns now.

    My brain won't allow me to trick itself into believing in a betting system that doesn't work. If his system was actually a winning system.... you better believe I could learn it, especially if it's based on the fact that the machines are not random(random in a way that no human being could possibly predict). If it's a systems based on gut feelings and speculation while using some kind of Martingale(or whatever) and duness theory I believe it would be impossible for anyone to learn it exactly like he believes it to. I guarantee you I could learn his system if there were set rules. I could even adapt to some gut feeling dueness bulshit.

    You believe it actually works, but, if I recall correctly, Rob said you can't even completely comprehend it and you do it wrong. You should be making a bunch of f****** money if it works but from what I understand you just cock f*** around I'm small levels after all these years. If I thought something really worked as you do... I have to assume you're the one with no brains. Either A: haven't figured out it doesn't work yet, OR B: Haven't figured out how to f****** rape the casinos by now. If it works the system would allow you 24/7 access to tens of thousands of machines all over the world. And all you have to do is go sit your fat ass in a few seats all day whenever you get a hair up that ass. Not to mention, you would have virtually almost zero Heat doing this. Sure, there might be some oddball situation where some idiot manager freaks out cuz your winning too much. Big deal, just made a bunch of money you have thousands of other casinos to operate from. I'm not even going explain all the money you could make from FreePlay alone.

    You must ask yourself... if Rob had a winning system why would he abandon that in search of a machine glitch that could potentially land him in jail and cause all kinds of problems and even get sued civilly, when he could have simply just continue making shit tons of money off of his system without any grief?

    Until somebody can prove to me there's some kind of predictable pattern or a detectable non-randomness in the video poker games available to us there's zero chance I'll ever believe it's a winning system. I do believe it's possible to play a while using a Martingale/dueness system and come out ahead do to getting lucky on higher bets made.
    I'll chime in and say that, without a doubt, if axel wanted to learn my complicated play strategy, I believe he is one who absolutely could. This fact is one of the reasons why I wanted to explain how I exploited the double-up flaw to him first. I've never had any communication with him over the years outside of insults and mocking both ways. But it was during this time along with my reading many of his posts over time, that pointed me in his direction. It's not hard when you clear away all the nonsense.

    For clarity: I did not give up on playing SPS in favor of looking for some kind of vp machine bug. I searched for any such anomaly weekly as soon as each session ended, starting in Jan. 2000.

    I also believe, and have always believed, that Nevada machines are on the up & up...at least as far as we're allowed to know. There would be no reason for me to have played my strategy for four years, or to be playing any method in subsequent years since 2009, if I really believed the machines were gaffed. And like others, I don't really know about other states' casinos or anywhere else, but my confidence lowers when it comes to Indian casinos and cruise ships.

    No, I did not back him up. I was rooting for it to be true. I just think it's odds-against right now, given the historical posts with "Singer" discussing how illegal he thought it was. And the lack of any corroboration. If GWAE and Shackleford have zero interest, that may tell you something about the quality of the corroboration.

    I get a kick out of your use of the word "trolling," as in "the bad man trolled me."

    Your not going after Singer in your current incarnation is probably irrelevant, given the influx of WoVers on this site who can shoot him down and who don't really buy into his schtick. That's why I don't feel obliged to counter every dumbass post of "Singer's," whereas I did when he and Alan were waxing eloquent as part of your "confederacy of dunces" and there were no WoVers here. Mickey crimm staying silent on the voodoo isn't likely to result in much novice player damage these days. Five years ago, when it was Alan and "Singer" with stop losses and non-random machines and so on, that may not have been the case. That's where arci came in. Then me, after it was clear "Singer" had no blessed idea regarding sports betting, but seemed intent on pretending he did.

    You do what you want, mickey. It's your legacy in print forever and a day. These posts will exist three hundred year from now.

    This is what I don't like about you and KJ. You are now lobbying me to break an agreement I made with Rob on trolling each other. Hey, it would make you happy but I would look like shit for breaking an agreement. I've already stated that I do not endorse the Singer video poker system. Repeat, so you will get it thru your thick head, I do not endorse the Singer video poker system. His video poker system has nothing to do with the double up bug. Repeat, so you will get it thru your thick head, his video poker system has nothing to do with the double up bug.

    The confederacy of dunces thing, and a lot of other things I said, was all about being in a troll war. I took it and dished it out. But I'm no longer in a troll war with Rob no matter how badly you want to see it again. As long as Rob holds up his end I will hold up my end. At least I can say I'm a man of my word.

    Redietz, you are wasting your internet time trying to get me to break an agreement.

    You're a liar redietz. You say you don't feel "obliged" to respond to what I post, but you in fact can't help yourself by doing exactly that. And my exposing you for soliciting me for money for your stupid "locks" did not change that a bit. When you started hating me years ago, it has never left your sleeve.

    Yet....now that you see mickey has been able to think for himself and reason things out regarding one separate thing about me, you've decided the best way forward for your continuing hate is to attack him for that. You're also bolstered by the foolishness of kew. That shows pathetic weakness, which is viewed by many as disgusting. How much business do you expect to get around here when you act so childish?

    Finally--your inexperience in REAL life is on exhibit by your making up the assertion that my posting regarding Kane and Nestor 5-6 years ago was "illegal activity" means I could not have done what I said. When someone's in the midst of covering something up and it suddenly appears as a topic in front of them, any surprised but astute individual immediately tries to steer the conversation in another direction as it pertains to him. You do what makes you feel comfortable.

    Oh....guess where I learned that.

    That all changed, of course, starting when the Govt. got their hands on me. Best thing that could've ever happen. And while the majority of the assholes I went to Jr. High and High School with have been saddled with ex-wives and miserable/failed relationships, my wife and I celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary yesterday and today.

    My question: is my long and happy marriage the result of some sort of an algorithm of numbers that says "some people HAVE to make it....or is it just simple good fortune"?
    When someone finds the need to repeat their "supposed" credentials on a weekly basis ad nauseum, they are either trying to convince themselves or the people they keep repeating it to (including anonymous strangers)....in either case, it`s most likely bullshit

In short, this has contributed to my being a clear over-achiever in most things I've done or attempted to do. If you knew me as a teenager, you'd have pegged me as someone who did not have much of a future.

    That all changed, of course, starting when the Govt. got their hands on me. Best thing that could've ever happen. And while the majority of the assholes I went to Jr. High and High School with have been saddled with ex-wives and miserable/failed relationships, my wife and I celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary yesterday and today.

    My question: is my long and happy marriage the result of some sort of an algorithm of numbers that says "some people HAVE to make it....or is it just simple good fortune"?
    When someone finds the need to repeat their "supposed" credentials on a weekly basis ad nauseum, they are either trying to convince themselves or the people they keep repeating it to (including anonymous strangers)....in either case, it`s most likely bullshit
    Sounds like you're a miserable divorcee. Would've been tough to guess.

    In Nov. 2020 Trump will Make Liberals Cry Again!

    Maybe that'll help choke up the few that are on here.

    I don't pay much attention to politics unless it's in my face. From what I have noticed, I have no idea who can beat him.
    My wife isn't that political either, but what I have noticed at the beginning she really didn't have an opinion either way about Trump as president, she probably thought it was okay as a reality star/ whomever he was prior to being president, but some of the shows she watches like The View, news and whatever she reads in the papers or whatever magazines she might read has definitely swayed her into not liking him. Basically she thinks he's a douchebag not fit to be president.

    On your hand the probability of making 4 tens on the draw is 1 in 16,215. Same with making 4 aces from it. It will happen to everybody if they play long enough.

    Sling, there are some forces going on in your head. Confirmation bias. Negative reinforcement. Selective memory. To name a few.
    Amen!!!
    You and Mickey don't have the brains or comprehension to play the Single Play Strategy.
    But I have enough brains that I never had a losing year at video poker. How about you?
    "More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ

    I was pulled out of losing at vp by two things: 4 royals and a decision to leave a certain casino. I didn't want to believe the numerous VP machines there were gaffed- that it was me. I then tried the experiment f playing 1 credit a hand and the results proved my suspicions.

    Lets get real. You aren't a winner at VP, even by your own admissions!

    That's exactly what the TV liberals always try to do with their biases--get those who aren't much into politics to occasionally watch them spew their lies and twisted logic, then hope it's all they can remember come voting day. Same policy with college students, who almost never use their spare time to watch TV.

    The following is the best summary I've read by someone who was a lifelong Republican and is an international expert in the fields wherein Trump's financial murkiness lies. Note that this was before Syria and quid-pro-quo and all of the latest issues.

    Also note: the comical part will come when some posters will attempt to impugn Tom Nichols expertise or American loyalties. And then likely claim to know more, citing their sources of Fox opinion broadcasts or some right wing blogs, than Nichols.

    Great post, Red. The only problem is you posted it on a forum that uses the same "bully" techniques, half truths, etc., to exclude those who don't agree. We used to have a saying on our football team that applies to Trump: "His ass is grass!"
