This interview is like a check in the mail from someone who doesn’t even know your address.
This interview is like a check in the mail from someone who doesn’t even know your address.
Here is the way I see the redietz situation. For most of my time on this forum, Dietz claimed to be a 40 year professional sports bettor. Gave no real specifics about what he did except to occasionally mention some contests. No one else was doing anything with sports betting, so the topic was rarely discussed except by redietz. And he was very general and didn't say anything that you would say, "well that just isn't right". Not being a sports bettor, he seemed credible to me.
But then some advantage players started venturing into sports betting. Not as a primary thing, but just doing some shit. And Redietz freaked out and changed dramatically. And there began to be more sports betting talk on the forum. And Dietz started saying some shit that just didn't make sense. The Ev comments. some other things. It was kind of eye opening.
And when some people began to challenge or question him, he just had no answers most of the time. usually some Martian Talk. Movie producer friend or some math guy he played pickup basketball with at lunch 50 years ago. All those kinds of deflections.
But Dietz couldn't and can't answer most questions. And if he can't answer questions on a forum, where he has time to look some shit up, how is he going to answer questions in a live interview, with a good interviewer (or call in questions) asking the right questions? he will look like a fool and he knows it so, there will NEVER be an interview with Munchkin nor Dan Druff. There just won't!!
We will get all the tap dancing....movie producer friend, needs to be in Vegas for a call-in interview, talk about his fascination with Mob figures, almost anything he can think of to deflect. But there will be no interview. The sooner everyone realizes this, the sooner everyone can go on with their lives.
Dietz has already been exposed on this forum, (as a sports "tout" rather than a real professional sports bettor)....he isn't going to subject himself to that a second time in a live interview. He just isn't!
Dan Druff: "there's no question that MDawg has been an obnoxious braggart, and has rubbed a ton of people the wrong way. There's something missing from his stories. Either they're fabricated, grossly exaggerated, or largely incomplete".
As is the case with many of us I suspect that redietz is simply trolling.
What, Me Worry?
Yeah, this makes perfect sense except for the fact that, oh hell, I cannot believe I am bothering to do this, since it's so obvious, but I'll do it just because MrV chimed in as usual while knowing nothing but having the need to yap his opinion. Let's walk through this, shall we:
1) I will do an interview anytime, any place, with anybody. Now this is about the tenth time I've written this, so if people choose to ignore this little fact, well, not much I can do about it. People need to learn to read. One would think a law degree would require third grade reading comprehension, but perhaps not.
2) Putting the onus on me to conduct an interview with myself seems pretty funny, on the face of it. But one must never overestimate the cumulative IQ of the VCT faithful.
3) If I was in something called "Tipsters or Gypsters?" in the early 1980's, which was published in Las Vegas and read by thousands of people, and which publicized the records of hundreds of "touts," one would think the fact I was a public handicapper, a "tout" so to speak, would be pretty obvious.
4) If you are in a publication listing the records of touts, I think it would be self-evident one is a "tout."
5) If I run a full-page ad in GamePlan Magazine in 1980, touting my handicapping record from my newspaper column the previous year, I think it's pretty evident I'm a public handicapper.
6) If I'm on national newsstands in something called Playbook for more than a decade, read by literally millions of people during those years, I don't think I'm hiding the fact that I am a public handicapper. Just a guess. I don't expect lawyers to necessarily grasp this, but my plumber and next-door neighbors do.
7) Obviously, the little spiel kewlJ wrote above is all bullshit, as most of his spiels are. He didn't take the time to think it through, at all. The idea that someone is hiding that they are public commercial handicappers while appearing on newsstands read by millions of people, on television (Satellite Cable Handicap), and in the most-read summary of commercial handicapper results during the 80's and 90's, is ridiculous.
8) Now while kewlJ throws the word "tout" around as if it's pejorative, let me explain why nobody at Playbook, or McCusker himself, or any of my clients or friends refer to me as a "tout." In the business, a "tout" would mainly be considered a commercial handicapper who loses significantly and/or uses many of the scamdicapper (McCusker's word) tactics like giving multiple clients different games, lying about results, running different services under different names, and so on. "Tout" would be the rough equivalent of "shyster" in lawyering terms. In fact, "shyster" is almost the exact equivalent. It's a pejorative with a purpose. "Tout" and "shyster" have a real equivalency.
9) If I've been interviewed and spelled all this out each and every time, and I've appeared on national newsstands and been read by millions of people in total, then obviously the issue is with kewlJ and his anonymous shyster sidekick. I assume people know what "Tipsters or Gypsters?" was about and what the Wise Guys Contest was about (since it was on those same newsstands). Other people's lack of knowledge on this subject is not really my responsibility.
10) In summary, I'm fine being interviewed anytime by anyone. MrV, I may be able to arrange an interview with YOU on August 5-9 in LV, or on the phone another time. Same goes for the bullshit artist, kewlJ. You want an interview? Be my guest. Obviously, if I'm on board with being interviewed by Munchkin, something called PFA, or the inimitable Axelwolf, or Singer, or MrV or the bullshit artist known as kewlJ, I'm pretty much up for anything.
I'm very pleased 10 bullet points covered this nonsense. Just for the fanboys, I will attempt to find hard copies of some of my first interviews, which I will paste and post, assuming I figure out how. Since I'm cleaning the garage, I should be able to locate some of this stuff.
P.S. Heading to Hard Rock Casino today for the afternoon. Will have lunch and blow a C-Note on Planet Moolah for the hell of it. Anyone wanting to interview me can email me at IntegritySports@aol.com or give me a call, 714-244-6853. Thanks, and have a nice day.
P.S.S. It occurred to me, the two people knowledgeable enough to conduct a really harsh, insightful interview with any "tout" would be Boz and mickey, although mickey lacks certain informational fundamentals, he has the proper orientation and experience. They would be great as adversarial interviewers. A helluva tag team. Something to consider.

Chill out, He Who Dances With Mobsters.
When I said that I suspect you're trolling I was not implying that you know nothing of sports betting: obviously you do, and I believe you've been doing it for decades.
Rather than accusing you of lying I simply believe that you are stringing things out and being unnecessarily disputatious, especially as regards AP.
You seem to enjoy it which is fine, but it never seems to end: i.e. trolling.
Carry on, it's the Game We Play.
What, Me Worry?
Well, now we are getting somewhere. Dietz, finally admitting he was one of those touts from the 80's and 90 and not the world's greatest sports bettor.
And there is a difference. A sports bettor makes his money betting sports. If his picks don't win, he loses money. A tout is selling picks. He makes money whether his picks win or not. The tout may have trouble getting "new clients" aka suckers, if his picks don't win. And that is where these contests and rankings come into play. The "tout" can just cherry-pick the ones he did well in as a selling tool and ignore the others. You know.....put together a "package" of cherry-picked data like he did for Alan.
Anyway, congrats on a successful career as a tout Dietz. Now you can go on and do an interview discussing your career as a tout with less fear of being exposed. I for one, would still be interested in what kind of money a tout made year over year? Enough to pay his taxes hopefully.![]()

Why isn't this retard out pretending to be a high roller?
Honest question, why would Red even be a suitable interviewee for PFA Radio? As I understand from listening to several episodes and the title of the podcast itself, the show is about the poker world, frauds, current events related to casino news, etc. None of this seems germane to Red talking about his old touting days.
kewlJ: My mother has read some of this forum. Probably more that I know. The only thing she has ever said to me about it is to ask why I continue to post here, which happens to be the same exact thing almost all of the decent people I have any association with ask me. And I am out if answers.
also kewlJ: I remain on this forum, for one reason only now....my own entertainment.
I'd like to hear if he has any stories about the Vegas mob and how they ran sin city back in the day; he posts about rubbing elbows with bent-noses so hey, maybe he can tell us where all those bodies were buried?

Please quote those "roadblocks after roadblocks." Yes, I require a living, breathing person do the interview. LOL. Sue me.
But you know what? I'll even allow the resident Dracula, who comes back from the dead and from sundry beatings, to do an interview. That would be a hoot. So I won't even require the interviewer be alive. I'm loosening up in my old age.
And again, the tip-off to the kewlJ commentary is that he paraphrases and summarizes things that are blatantly false. Unlike MDawg, who uses actual direct quotes.
I am not going to search for quotes, but a couple of the road blocks are that you have put stipulations on that you need to be in Las Vegas for a call-in interview, and at other times said you need the great filmmaker Dennison to be available. That type of thing. Everyone has read it and knows what you are doing.
Who talks about an interview like this for months and months like this. If you really wanted this to happen it would have happened by now. And if the problem is on Dan Druff's end, you would have pestered him until you both agreed on a date.
The fact is that you are dragging your feet because you know this interview with be a disaster, with many questions you can't answer. And Dan Druff for his part, is allowing you to drag your feet.

Yeah, the quotes that will never come. I never said "I need to be in Las Vegas" for any interview. That's a lie.
I never said I "need Dennison to be available." That's another lie.
"If I really wanted this to happen, it would have happened by now." LOL. First, I can't interview myself. Well, I can, and maybe it would be pretty cool, but that is usually not how interviews work. Although I am willing to try. Second, I refuse to promise to blow Dan to make the interview happen. Now I have heard that is an option (or even a preference) for some alleged blackjack players, but that is not something with which I wish to bargain.
In summary, the kewlJ lied and whiffed. As usual. Paraphrases and declarations. That's all he's got in his quiver. No quotes. No evidence of anything. Just the usual blah,blah, blah.
The dude's default is to make shit up. That's why he's banned on almost every forum. And MDawg, please quote me on that.

I love this narrative that all the trolls and haters use that KJ is banned at almost every forum.
I am banned at 2 forums and basically over the same incident.
I can participate here (for what that is worth). I can participate at GF, despite that phony photo-shopped heading that Mdawg likes to post.
I can and do participate at BJinfo, although the forum is pretty inactive these days.
I can participate at BJ21, just have chosen not to after the sale to the same group that owns WoV.
I can and do participate on a private BJ forum, not open to the public, although I don't really care for that concept except for private messages. I like newer players to be able to benefit from what I share.
So YOU are the liar Bob Dietz. Ever since you joined forced with and became a troll, you repeat the troll lies. I know you are hurt, your feelings hurt when you were exposed as NOT the great sports bettor you claim, but is this really what you want to be known as...an internet troll, the likes of Singer, Dawg and Belly?
