My gut tells me this show is never going to happen. Just because it has been drug out so long. I mean it is a
call in show done remotely. If both parties wanted to do it it would have been done by now. Instead we get Redietz wanting specific dates so he can fly to Las Vegas, for a phone in show, and he is even talking about having invited guests in his hotel room for the call in show. Like everything with this guy, it has just become creepy and weird.
THAT said, I honestly hope it does come off and Red is able to account himself in a way that leaves no doubt as to who he is and what he has accomplished. I am hoping for that because my initial impression was that he was more or less being honest. I am not sure why he goes into all that 1983 shit though?
BUT, as time has gone on, my doubts have grown stronger based a couple red flags. The first were several years ago, when Red didn't seem to understand why advantage players battling with the casinos on a daily or regular basis, need to remain anonymous. That he doesn't get that, with his 100 days a year in Vegas for 40 years is just weird. But I chalked it up to he just does different things than advantage players do.
The second BIG red flag for me was his comments on EV. THAT one is hard to dismiss.
And #3, has been his recently, like last 6 months or so, getting so damned defensive and attacking APs with all the Leonardo da AP shit.
But again, I sincerely hope some of these things are just him being an old school sports bettor and doing things much differently than AP's do, in these modern times. I honestly would like confirmation that my initial read of him was correct, just for my own satisfaction.
