As many of you know, there are hundreds of members who read this Forum and few post. They do send me emails. Quite frankly, they are afraid to post -- they just don't want to get involved in the heated arguments that go on here.
But one of the non-posting members sent me what he says is part of an article that Rob Singer published on his website. It challenges Rob's claims about quitting when ahead and quitting when he reaches a win goal. It also challenges Rob's criticism of me for using recent winnings to continue playing.
Here is what was sent to me:
From "M & Aria Highlight A Very Nice Trip", February 19, 2010
(This appears near the bottom of the article. The previous paragraph to this one is about the server based slots at Aria, which is important only in how it relates to the first sentence of this paragraph)
But I didn’t care about any of that. Instead, we ordered a couple of drinks and this time my wife joined me as I played $1 DDB video poker. Within minutes, we had an attendant paying us $2000 for four Aces with the kicker. Then minutes later, still on $1 DDB (because only addicts go UP in denomination after winning a jackpot) we hit it again for ANOTHER $2000 hand pay. After that I played 50c alone while my wife read for almost 2 hours before we finally left. But I was not finished with Aces as you’ll soon see.
Back at the M it took maybe 5 minutes to hit four Aces with the kicker AGAIN, this time on 50c. That ended play at that casino.
And the final paragraph:
We arrived home almost $4500 ahead, but according to "advantage players” we came home losers because we played only negative expectation games that cost us X amount per hour of play. See how misled they are? I’m laughing at them all the way to the bank, just as I have for the 11 years I was playing as a professional video poker player.
