I've always believed it was the responsibility of those who know how things work to debunk the writing and hype of those who push farfetched narratives. In fact, I think it would be great if Dan started a companion site to Poker Fraud Alert called Gambling Fraud Alert. There are enough nebulous, illogical, out on the fringe claims on this forum alone to merit several episodes.
If Dan were start up Gambling Fraud Alert, the first month could feature the illustrious poster above. Can you imagine trying to verify a million-dollar jackpot story on a live podcast by arguing that the casino won't allow you to publicize it? And that you're too smart to own anything? Would be a helluva show.
Occasionally, telling the truth pays off, if not in a mega-financial way, at least in a way that salutes verifiable expertise. KewlJ has likely had some book and/or script offers over the course of the last decade.
Over the last few years, meanwhile, "Rob Singer" has claimed to have helmed a video poker roundtable at G2E and to be in line for his column resuming at Gaming Today. Of course, there was no such roundtable, and the editor who allegedly offered Rob the position at GT hadn't been employed by them for more than a year. All one had to do to verify this stuff was make a couple phone calls.
What would be great would be a dual-guest format for Gambling Fraud Alert featuring kewlJ and Rob Singer. That would be fun. Who wouldn't listen to that? Maybe Dan could substitute a Gambling Fraud Alert show for Poker Fraud Alert once every couple of months. I'm sure Rob Singer would love the opportunity to demonstrate his expertise.
