His claims have zero basis in mathematics. 4 royal in 5 hours play, playing only free play. Special magical plays. Progressive betting and stop limits turning -EV games into +EV.

1. First question is, can you win at video poker without your win having a basis in mathematics? In other words can you get lucky? And hasn't Rob repeatedly said he plays conventional strategy which is based on math more than 95% of the time and why is this ignored?

2. Is four royals in five hours of play that impossible?

3. Is it also possible that he did have substantial free play offers and even banked and stored free play? (I used to regularly get $2500 of free play from Caesars when I played big.)

4. Did Rob ever claim that he made a -EV game a +EV game through progressive betting and stop losses? In all the years I followed Rob and spoke with him I never heard him say he turned a -EV game into a +EV game, but he did say he won money at -EV games. Is winning at -EV games impossible?

Mickeycrimm wrote something above that needs clarification. Mickey wrote that Rob " hid behind a phony name until arci exposed who you really are." Which phoney name was this? I ask because there have been so many allegations that I've lost track.

Jbjb wrote "Hes a scammer. His M.O. is to say he'll train you for free. You use your own money to learn. If you win, he wants a cut." I need some more information about this too. Who has been trained by Rob and then Rob asked for a cut of the win? By the way there were also allegations that Rob had his students play on his club card and this was never proven. In fact has anyone ever come forward to say they were actually trained by Rob?
He invented the pen name Rob Singer for a reason. He didn't want anyone to know who he was. His history with arci goes back to the early 2000's on FREEvpFREE where arci posted under a username something like "mroejacks." Through his posts Rob had given up enough information about himself that arci, a pretty good detective with a computer, was able to determine who Rob was, Robert Harry "Bob" Argentino, and where he lived. And he discovered that Argentino wasn't living in a big house that he bragged about but a small apartment. An apartment that Argentino was later evicted from.
