The biggest problem Singer has is admitting he failed at AP where many others have succeeded. His hate filled posts reek of envy and that is why you constantly see him project his own gambling problems and failures on others.
Even when lying you show how your nerves affect you and you can't do it right. 6 figures playing quarters....kinda makes what Dancer does irrelevant. I mean, why bother with the $25 machines when arci can show him the ropes on quarters. And your returns show a zeroing out of wins each year with losses. Project that one.

What's the ONLY reason vp junkies attempt a move to LV? Well gee wiz....I T-H-I-N-K I might get it right if I say it's because of an addiction to the machines. But I know--if you were to admit that obvious fact, then you're whole virtual world of video poker on the forums and fabrications of your play just might be the last nail in the coffin....so to speak. And I'll bet the farm that you & the missus are just a tad bit sorry for it all these days. Or if I'm wrong, please bring her to visit us in Oregon next summer and I'll treat you both to a week in a hotel and a fabulous meal each night. What great life---huh? My god, opportunities just ABOUND for healthy, happy families in retirement!

Let's take a good look at just what happens to AP's who have all made the mistake of thinking they could win win win from the casinos just by moving closer to the machines....then find themselves in a pool of denial afterwards:

1. Yuri (Russina last name), former top rated math professor at UNLV and friend of the Huntington Press crowd. He twice was repremanded by UNLV admin for bringing up his sure-thing AP system in vp during class. But the preaching did not match the practice. Less than 6 months after his classroom assertions, he was fired by UNLV for not showing up at his classes and instead, was followed by campus security and found to be sitting at the "+EV" machines hours upon hours every day--supposedly trying his best to prove his very poorly thought-out AP ramblings....To add to his education and mounting humiliation, he had to move his now penniless family back to Russia to sponge off other family, and Jean Scott publicly solicited donations for this misled genius.

2. Bob Dancer, current big name guru in AP video poker. Claiming to have come to LV with a mere $6000 and having since built a decent life in the suburbs, he also claims to be a winner at AP vp. Yet his collars don't match his cuffs, if you know what I mean. Here's a guy still employed in various circles at a time when not only most people his age are retired period--but as any professional gambler will tell you, if you're successful at your trade then you will never NEED to have an outside income and all the hassles that come with it. Yet this guy rakes in money from any source possible and has since moving to town. It's plainly obvious he needs the money to keep up his higher limit vp play....which in turns keeps up the guise that his vp play generates his living expenses. Oh, and did anyone mention that while he continually writes about winning just about everywhere, he just never seems to get banned due to casinos not being able to make a profit off of him. The pieces all fit into the very simple puzzle, only AP's in need of an idol--as aging an idol as he may be--just don't want it to be that way.

3. Skip Hughes. Now here's a sad story. Eager to jump onto the commercialized AP vp bandwagon in the early 2000's, this former attorney gave it all up once bitten by the video poker bug and moved to LV to do what our friend Dick did--to be closer to the machines so he could play every day. But as his losses mounted up he became involved in the exact same activities as all the other AP vp gurus: He started selling strategy, strategy cards, newsletters....just about anything gambling related to keep gambling money in his pockets. But at the end of the day, he ended up just like almost all of the other wide-eyed, misled AP's who's thinking was clouded by the compulsion to play vp: broke, and forced to mve out of state to get away from the machines. His final humiliation was forever cemented by tragically dying too young, then having Jean Scott solicit donations for the unnecessarily busted life left behind. I actually tried to help him when he came to me to understand my play strategy, finally admitting to me that he just could never beat the game as he gave the perception of doing. Just a sad story.

4. Dan Paymar: Actually a pretty decent old chap, but one who annoys the vp world by reprinting the same old book over & over again just for profit. Yet here's another who headed for the safety of the New Mexico hills once he discovered what Lenny Fromme told my book publisher: that it was impossible to beat the vp machines with AP play. But Dan's still selling the system--he isn't the least bit taken back by AP-failure. In fact, every forum he posts on he includes his shameless advertising for his products. Gee,and all he had to do was ask me for help and he'd still be living the life he expected to in LV....

So arci, "many others" have succeeded? In what wet dream, and on what planet?
