Oops, I made a mistake!

One thing you can tell, when UNKewlJ makes with the all bold sentences one after another something has really gotten to him. You can practically see the hand cocked onto his side, the bent elbow and the high pitched whiny voice complaining, "Now wayyyyt a minute, Misterrrrr."

Red, are you forgetting that at times Singer said or alluded to that he didn't play rated. Didn't want or need points and multiplier days. He won by his SPS and "special plays". Are you forgetting that, because now you are making him out to be some sort of comp hustling genius. Somebody either Singer, or you on his behalf is revising and re-telling the stories.

And yes...STOP distracting me. I am trying to get my sports picks all organized for the weekend. Can't make some of them until this evening (half juice Friday evening), but try to get the work done ahead of time.

I haven't forgotten anything. To claim that Singer went unrated is somewhat silly, both silly for Singer and silly for you. His smiling face was on the cover of Gaming Today half the issues for about a decade. That means his countenance was seen every week by literally tens of thousands of people in every casino and especially every sports book. If people didn't know who he was, then that's on them.

And before you try to make the argument that but, but, but Singer said he wasn't rated, you should realize that it doesn't matter if he plugged his card in or not. Those were the days of discretionary comps. Whether he had his card in or not was largely irrelevant.

And before you tell me that I'm wrong, please bear in mind that I was getting probably three-quarters of my comps at the time via discretionary. So yeah, all I had to do was ask, card or not. People had some idea who I was.

And I also realize that what I just wrote kind of undermines the entire man-about-town, under-the-radar vibe kewlJ tries to maintain vis-a-vis his blackjack playing. Again, Las Vegas is largely like Cheers....everybody knows your name, or if not your name, your story. So hard to walk into a place after 10 years and claim you're The Chameleon (that's a reference for really old Spider-Man fans).

The "wildman gets better comps" thesis was wrong in the first place and even more obviously wrong when they are not even able to track the wildman's play.
