Here's what you said: "What you don't seem to realize is that you are saying the equivalent of 2+2 might= 5."

I don't dispute that 2+2=4 nor will Singer.

Instead Arc, think of Rob's strategy this way: you drop the 2+2 to try for 3+3 or better.
Sorry Alan, 3+3 is still math and the math tells you the answer is 6. It is not 7 or greater as it would need to for Singer's system to provide any advantage. I guess you didn't realize that 2+2 was really an analogy. With 3+3 you just changed the analogy but it still holds exactly the same as 2+2. The analogy is just a simple way of explaining that the math tells you everything you need to know. There is nothing else. There is no magic math. When you play VP you are making deposits and withdrawals. The randomness just varies the amount of those transactions. There is no way to overcome the mathematics. It DEFINES what you are doing. So, you may wish and hope and pray all you want. It is nothing more than praying to a Sun god or fire god. It is pure superstition. You might as well start dancing around chanting something.

I guess you will continue to ignore facts and hold on to the fantasy of the magical elixir. I've wondered in the past why people will ignore the truth when it is presented to them time and again. Now that I've seen an example I still don't understand it. I can only guess it has to do with ego. You are resisting admitting you made a mistake even though you were made aware of it months ago. You're not the first nor will you be the last to be conned.
