The Wizard of Vegas Comes Clean On His Forum

Yes. Because one thing has nothing to do with another.

Oh but they do. every one of them is an ego trip. Big house, expensive cars, trips to exotic places, and finally big wins ... They are all based on a person trying to promote an image of themselves. If several of them turn out to be false you can be almost guaranteed they all are.

I've said this before: winning nearly a hundred thousand a year over a ten year period playing for the most part at the $10 level and playing with a win goal system is perfectly believable and doable.

The average bet of his system is far below $10. Simple math. The odds of him accomplishing this feat on negative machines, whose return is even more than the ones he has mentioned playing on, is around .03%. That is not "perfectly believable and doable". It is extremely unlikely. So, when you have someone who has proved beyond any doubt that he will lie about his life and accomplishments why would anyone believe something this unlikely?

That doesn't mean other things haven't been embellished along the way, but I don't care where the guy lives and it's really none of our business. As far as the claims about rigged machines go -- I'm still waiting to see the "proof" just as you are but even that does not nullify the ability to use win goals -- or even his special plays -- to win at video poker. And let me just add, while for the most part I reject the special plays, a few of them make sense to me -- and to other players as well -- especially when dealt trip aces in certain games.

Alan, they only "make sense" to you because that is the way you WANT to play. If you were a logical person you would realize your wants aren't always going to be right. It's fine to play in whatever manner you WANT, however don't confuse that with making sense.
