Big Casino Wins and Jackpots

[a2a3dseddie]

I finally get it. The smallest confession of anything is immediately pounced upon, and to get that confession your ego is slightly uplifted to get any hint of info to use against you.

Slingshot, once again I have no quarrel with you. Any of my posts that might include your name are not meant to belittle or insult you. They are meant to attack Rob as he has done to everyone else on this forum. If you have felt singled out or insulted, please accept my apology.

That said, I have two questions for you. No sarcasm or ill will intended. I along with several others on this forum find Rob's claims hard to believe. You don't seem to. Why? As well, if Rob agreed to meet you and give you private lessons using your money, or if Rob asked you to back him so that he would play with your money and split profits (like Frank Kneeland claims he did) would you be willing to do that?

[Vegas_lover]

Hey Robbie, were Dan's questions not worthy of your reply?

Robbie, Oh Robbieboy, Dan is waiting for some answers. Too hard to answer them?

Eddie, spot on last post! Couldn't have said it any better.

[Alan Mendelson]

Alan, I've spent years trying to teach others the art of quitting while ahead. And I wouldn't be able to do that without having successfully mastered it. So why is there even a question about how I've been doing that in this, my most profitable run of my life at vp?

Rob, the question isn't if you quit when you were ahead. The question is -- how long did it take for you to get ahead and how many hands were played and how much did you actually lose playing your progression before you hit those big winners at the higher levels?

Surely you remember a little over a year ago when I was on here complaining how I was mired in the worst quad drought and losing of my career. When I knew what was going on I stayed at low denominations until my luck turned.

From what I know about your system, your luck at lower denominations has not turned. You are still losing at the lower denominations and you are not reaching your win goals at the lower denominations which forces you to move up to $25 games. Now, if that is not the correct interpretation you will have to do a better job of explaining your system. The only explanation I ever got was that you move up to higher denominations in order to hit a winner to reach a win goal and make up for previous losses.

I'm going to assume that it has finally been accepted that neither do I know how to create a fake vp screen, nor has it been done with my jackpot photos. Now we're peeling down the onion further, where eddie, who understandably is sick to death over my good fortune, needs this to be that I'm posting "other people's" jackpots....of course, without him doing any thinking whatsoever. But please, actually DO some thinking about it. What would it take? You've been to high limit rooms. None are ever THAT busy. How could I possibly know where to go and be when these things are hit, and what casino would even ALLOW a lurker float around or play sparangly just to suddenly jump up and ask winners to snap pictures? It would mean immediate expulsion and I would look and feel like a fool. So what do I have, some rich sugar daddy running around hitting these? Or maybe I'm pulling them from vpFree or some other forums or sites. I sent the $100k hit to Shackleford because he was interested in why I didn't play the best pay tables available-- which this proved his assumption wrong. So would I do that if there was even the slightest possibility of this win being posted somewhere else by someone else? People need to wise up and not let their jealous emotions take over .

People hit big winners so I don't doubt you hit big winners. What I am more interested in is how long you played before the big winners appeared.

[Alan Mendelson]

You think they ENJOY watching me post unfathomable wins

Rob your wins are not "unfathomable." I've also played TDB and hit quads with kickers, and I've had my share of royals. The difference is that I play at $1, $2 and $5 and sometimes at 25-cents. You won't catch me willing to go through a $173,000 bankroll as a recreational player. I think having a bankroll like that to play video poker is sick. There are better things to do with that kind of money.

[Alan Mendelson]

and you don't need to meet Alan at Caesars Palace if you can't afford the trip. (Although I'm certain you're chomping at the bit to meet up with Alan again to try and convince him to lend you some money)

Actually, I was thinking about asking Rob for a loan since he hit all those big winners! If he gave me a loan I'd gladly move up to the the $25 denomination.

The sad truth is I blew my chance. I left my wife playing the penny slots several years ago and took her cell phone with me in Shreveport at the Horseshoe. It was during one of Rob's visit-I was excited and my wife was, too. Well, Rob called to let me know where to meet him and I took her *%#@$ phone and hit the wrong button to answer, didn't know how to get last caller ID on the blamed thing=and to top it all of I left the number to Rob's cell phone at home. It still embarasses me to this day. Yes, Rob does what he says he'll do-common courtesy is his only requirement.

So your answer is...? I would just like to know WHY you have faith in Rob. And if you do, why not meet him with $50,000 of your own cash, get him to play it for you and split the profits?

[slingshot]

Alan, I have to agree with Rob here. You get stuck on that figure and that's for SPS. For his artt strategy, it's only $10,000. For 3 full sessions-$30,000- advancing from whatever level to $25 level.

[slingshot]

So your answer is...? I would just like to know WHY you have faith in Rob. And if you do, why not meet him with $50,000 of your own cash, get him to play it for you and split the profits?

Well, I actually UNDERSTAND that you don't need that much cash (BTW-he says that quite often) and wouldn't have that much anyway. I could have learned with a measly $100 by playing 1,2,5, 10, and 25 credits on the nickel machines for one session. Penny ante for most but the strategy would be the same=I mean, the reason is to learn, right? Why do I have faith in him? I actually have won using artt on the nickel machines at 5-10-25 credits (quarters) and quite often. He says at LEAST 3 denoms, but 4 or more are recommended. Even so, I do well with the 3. I'm telling you, it's a FUN way to play and keeping up with where you are is simple and keeps you mentally alert instead of just banging away at the buttons. Honest. This is nothing against you guys-I just enjoy all the little ideas I get from picking his thoughts. One day I'm gonna take the plunge and take a $100 win and go to the $5 machine and play 1,2, and 5 credits the artt way to try to win $100 win goal. I think things like this are interesting as heck.

Thanks for correcting me. So... it's not $173,000. Now, let me amend my comment: playing $10,000 per session, with three sessions totaling $30,000 at video poker is sick.

Yes, the level of sickness between $30,000 and $173,000 is only a slight $143,000. Thank heaven we established that.

LOL.. What would be fun, though,is after advancing say the 3rd time (because 2 pairs were luckily keeping you pretty even) and you HIT 4 A's on bp for $10,000! I've hit them at my level on the 2nd or 3rd try before.

OK, so you say you do win using his methods that's why you have faith. That's reasonable. So, would you be willing to let's say back him with however much money you were able to get a hold of?

See~this is not even about me! I plainly stated I was here to LEARN. And Rob has continuously stated he doesn't want or need ANYONE'S money and he offers his advice FOR FREE! Again, I say I'm not here to fight a cause-I feel it stands on it's own merit. As for all the fighting, word play, power games, etc., I'm not the least bit interested. And all the little tidbits I was picking up are now stopped because of all this. It's not even an interesting forum for me anymore.

[Rob.Singer]

Sling, that idiot can only show hatred for my winning ability whenever he discusses anything with anyone who takes the time to understand what I teach. He can't help himself, but it's all he has. And Alan can't seem to grasp the concept that some people just may have larger gambling bankrolls than whatever amount he can stomach potentially parting with. In other words, it's all about him, all the time. Just imagine what he conversely thinks of you as he plays $2 & $5 constantly while you play 5c thru quarters.

Anyway, back to the important stuff. Last night I did something I rarely do anymore--I played machines in one casino for almost four straight hours. Of course I went in with a goal, and based on my current crop of incredible luck I wasn't expecting to be there long. But not this time.

I went in with a plan to play alternating sessions with minimum $200 win goals of five-level 25c thru $5 RTT/ARTT strategies--playing up to 6 full sessions if needed, and quitting whenever I attained at least a minimum $1000 profit OVERALL. ARTT, with its soft profit cash-out routine, is well-known by now to those who have at least half a brain. RTT, OTOH, has variable approaches, and this time I chose to play BP/TDBP with a 50/50, 50/100, 100/100, 100/200, & 100/300 spread--and with NO soft profit cashing out....you keep playing until the $200 minimum win goal is achieved. In these cases where 25c is the lowest denomination and $5 is the highest, ARTT requires a $2000 session bankroll, while RTT requires $2900/session.

Things did not go well until the end. I lost $2900 on the first RTT session; I lost $1925 on the next ARTT session; I lost another $2900 on the following RTT session; and I lost $1870 on the next ARTT session. But on the next RTT session, I was down $1410 when the wonderful Royal Flush lined up for me. Ain't it grand?! So for my four hour grinding effort, where I did hit 3 quads but nothing special and always late enough on that they never quite got me there, I profited $8995 overall. Not a bad haul again, bit it's not my bag to be sitting at machines that long a time any more. I guess that's the down side of being the best vp player to ever play the game. And the smartest reaction player too. I again left zero tips for anybody. Here's an assignment for Alan: Go back and add up the total of all my jackpots in this thread, then pretend it was YOU who hit them and calculate how much you would have SQUANDERED in tips for absolutely no reason at all to people who care nothing about you at all.

PS: Sorry about the crummy fuzzy picture this time. I always like them to be crystal clear in order to bug "eddie" as much as possible, but these fuzzies could be construed as my giving him and his fellow dufus spock the opportunity to claim I "doctored" the picture or that I'm "hiding" something. ENJOY....both the picture and the PAIN!!

[Dan Druff]

So, Rob, you have time to write that entire trip report above, but not to answer my simple questions?

Here they are again:

Rob,

A few questions for you regarding your New Orleans trip:

1) When did you receive your free flight to New Orleans offer?

2) What were the exact details of this offer?

3) How did you redeem it (that is, please explain the process you used to redeem it)?

4) You said this offer was made because of your heavy play in a different casino. When was that play?

[Rob.Singer]

So, Rob, you have time to write that entire trip report above, but not to answer my simple questions?

Here they are again:

I TEACH how to win at video poker Dan, not explain administrative details about trip comps so other less fortunates can spin the facts into making up unsupportable assertions. And I read very little of what's being posted any more, esp. by the jealous haters. But I know my consistent success bothers them, so I pile it on whenever I can.

That said, because you have something to do with this forum, I'll answer. However, I don't care about specific points, dates, etc. as much as the typical TR-hooked player, but I'll do the best I can.

The best I can tell, I received the NO offer (two nights, two airfares, $150 food) because of my high limit play in Tunica. (I can go there on a similar offer but with $250 in food plus a suite) but we both don't really like Mississippi--we only went there to meet up with some friends from Houston). Also, my play at Harvey's, where I hit a $5 royal after decent play in the 2nd half of 2013, may have also come into play.

The offer I used came on their site in my account. I also got it thru the mail. When did I receive it? How about before I used it. You know how that booking process goes.

BTW, I'm hot as a freshly fired pistol right now, so I'm going up to the Lake in a few minutes to play up to three ARTT sessions of five level, $1 thru $25 on BP and I hope, TDBP for the advanced game. Alan, I'm taking a $30k bankroll. Wish me luck everybody!

Advanced game for advanced players there....Good luck, Rob!

[redietz]

He had banned himself,
So went Rob's song,
But his dis-ci-pline
Lasted none too long.

He's just too strong
To not squawk his song,
As we once more welcome
He who's never wrong.

A thinking man's host
Would have whacked the gong
And sent Rob off
To the island of Kong

But Alan's been breathin'
His Best Buy Bong,
So math and reason
Take a backseat to schlong.

Actually, Rob, I commend sling for playing 5-cents through quarters. And now that I scored 7Stars again for 2014, I'll be using my free play at 25-cent video poker also. By the way, at Rincon there is 8/5 Bonus and 8/5 Aces and Faces available at 25-cents. There are no nickel games at that pay table, but you can play 1-cent per credit on the 50-play and 100-play screens -- though the pay table is reduced.

Believe me when I tell you that hitting a royal at a 1-cent game really sucks. And do you know what sucks even more? Watching an elderly couple playing one line, one credit on a 100-play machine and being dealt a royal flush. Yes, I saw it happen at Rincon.

This sounds more like the truth... for this visit and all the others. But if you want to maintain that you magically hit all those big wins within a half hour of taking your seat then more power to you. The rest of us will deal with our realities instead of wasting time with your fantasies.
