Big Casino Wins and Jackpots

[Dan Druff]

Yes I play slowly because that's my preference. My strategies require constant thought and mathematical monitoring, and unlike many players, I'm not trying to pile up the points as fast as possible. My goal is to pile up the money.

No answer about the date discrepancies?

[Rob.Singer]

Rob... the only thing responsible for your "ability to win consistent extraordinary amounts" is that you are playing $10 and $25 video poker. Other players get the same hands but playing 25-cent and 50-cent video poker. I see this all the time at Rincon in the video poker section. You are not hitting these quads with kickers any more frequently than lower level players do. Sorry. But that's reality.

The only way for you to prove to us that you do hit these "winners" more frequently is if you showed us some sort of casino statement that tracked your actual play: whether it be a coin-in/coin-out statement, or a tier score statement, or something where we could figure the percentage of your "big hits" to the number of hands played. And I know you won't come up with that data for whatever reason.

You say your ARTT method gets you to the higher denominations more quickly? Well I've said this before and I will say it again: with your bankroll you should be starting at the higher denominations... period.

Rob, here is what I VALUE about your systems and methodology:

1. Discipline following win goals and loss limits. Absolutely essential and because of that my video poker balance sheet has changed remarkably. I no longer chase royals meaning I no longer keep playing till I hit a royal or bust out. I now set and accept certain win goals.

2. Certain special plays. Yes, I see some value in certain special plays involving aces. However, I reserve judgment about when I might use a special play and when I might use conventional strategy (since I use conventional strategy most if not all of the time).

3. Changing denominations. I think it is important to change denominations -- but perhaps not the way you intended. But I think you'll agree with me that moving to a lower denomination when things are not going well makes sense. And moving to a lower denomination to preserve profits also makes sense.

4. Making "bonus poker" your primary workhorse for play since it has less volatility and will keep you in the game longer.

Your points aren't all that far off, except you keep making the same irresponsible comment about ARTT when you don't understand it nor have you ever been trained to play it.

I'm not here to prove that I win what and how I say I do. The only time "proving it" meant anything at all to me was when I humiliated the HP bunch back in 2006. People can either accept it or not, just as they have always done with anyone else anywhere who has ever made claims of winning or losing. Sure my picture postings here and in the paper have irritated many over the years, but at least I've posted my wins. Pictures don't prove much beyond a winning hand, but they're worth a lot more than someone like Dancer saying he always wins when it's obvious his money comes from working. And maybe Dan should spend his time trying to nail down that about him instead of theories about time stamps, which we discussed months ago and which can easily be changed but I wouldn't bother --or maybe I did just to bug the Sherlocks --and my CET offers. Here's an idea: he's got to be convinced I'm a photoshop sharpshooter at this point. Haters usually do. How about you send him to Wynn to take some pics in the high limit room and see what he can admit to when he REALLY has some facts.

[Vegas_lover]

First Robbieboy doesn't provide straight answers to Dan's questions about his New Orleans offer and than Robbie doesn't provide straight answers to Dan's questions about the dates of his pictures. Please do tell, why does anybody still discuss anything with this character? There really is no reason at all to discuss anything with him, it's all just completely useless and you're all waisting valuable time and energy.

There's only one solution: give this man a stage in an empty concert hall and let him sing whatever tune he likes.

[Alan Mendelson]

I'm not here to prove that I win what and how I say I do.

That's the funniest thing I ever read. Every time you post it's about how and why you do whether it involves your special plays, or ARTT, or discipline or whatever. Even when you comment about someone else winning it's about how the other person is doing it all wrong and is either destined to fail or is addicted because they don't do it your way.

Quite frankly, Rob, NO ONE knows what your way is, not even your most ardent supporters who continue to ask question after question.

Even I thought it was pretty clear about your "special plays" when it came to holding kickers and then we recently found out that even that simple rule was not a rule.

To be honest, if you can't come up with straight answers to legitimate questions you don't have a verifiable system and you have no right to make your claims about your system or your wins.

And a system that can't be verified is no system at all.

Not a good idea Alan saying some of that. All you're doing is confirming that you do not understand something because you haven't the ability to learn it. I think I've tried to be as nice as possible in the past by loosely using the words "thick"....or "dense". In other words, you talk a big game here and you play higher limits than most, but you just don't have the aptitude to comprehend either that which is clearly explained to you, as I and Sling have detailed in ARTT, for example, multiple, multiple, multiple times, nor do you really have an interest in learning why you've lost so much, since taking time to do that would cut into your casino visits and ultimately, your need to spend hours and hours at the machines each visit because you just can't bear to leave the action behind. And here's a flash Alan--one which you've never understood, and frankly, couldn't. My strategies (aka "systems" to you) are based on mathematics, but unlike optimal strategy, they are not totally based on math. Remember? So for anyone who truly wanted to understand them would have to go into it comprehending that they are not 100% verifiable with the math, which in turn means they would need to have a bit more intelligence than the standard smart guy or math guy. And that's not you.

[Alan Mendelson]

There you go again Rob hurling insults instead of a rational comment. You and Sling seem to be two peas in a pod and the rest of us don't know enough to swallow what you are trying to put on our plates.

If you really think you have something make it easy to understand and to learn and follow. Right now you can call me anything you want to but you get a fail.

[Rob.Singer]

That said above, I myself found a way to make an unplanned trip to the casino today, and while I weakly justified it because my wife's sister is visiting for about a week and I labeled it under "it would be good for them to spend some time together today" they will both like the results. I went in with just a thousand dollars and decided to play 3-play and 5-play quarters only, with no goals or time limits.

I put $500 in to start on triple play, but as you can see and likely to a few people's disgust round here (but to my absolute delight!) it didn't take me long to nail the machine for almost $2000! Of course, I went right home. Ain't it beautiful, Singer fans....ain't it GREAT!! Psst....BTW Dan, for your benefit, I took a phone (one of 3) with me today just in case I got an enviable win. And Bingo! Again!! But I really like my old camera better, even though I have to keep changing the batteries because of so many jackpots.

Enjoy! Oh.....the P-A-I-N....

YAHTZEE!! Well of course none of you can swallow it--have you ever really wanted to? All you're infatuated with is my ability to hit so many jackpots in so little time compared to you and possibly what everyone else expects. But if you ever took the time to understand how I'm able to do that in consistent fashion, you're probably afraid of what it would do to your planned 8 hour excursions to Rincon every few days. That, in and of itself, is where the real fail lies.

[Rob.Singer]

I'll add to the above beautiful picture. I left with a nearly $2k profit, and I played very little time. But if it were Alan, how long and at what limits would he have kept on playing? Sure he could have won a lot more, but overwhelmingly it won't happen most of the time and we all know that, and because he plays no particular strategy of any kind, he would have lost it all and made up self-excuses to cash checks or hit the ATM's. It doesn't make much sense, but either he doesn't really like going home, or not being able to leave casino action with a sure winner in hand has got the best of him. (BTW, I can help with both).

[Alan Mendelson]

Congratulations on the win. Someone who plays as much as you should have lots of wins.

That you play a lot and that you have winners doesn't mean that anyone understands your system or that your system has any validity.

Yes and it was a nice and very unexpected win, thank you. Over the years I've tried to teach as many as possible how to play better, although this win was just plain quick dumb luck but I'll take it of course. I've said many times in the media and on the Internet that my strategies require much more than simply understanding optimal play. Some try to understand them, most don't. And what's most surprising is that unlike Curtis, Wong, & Snyder, I don't sell anything or require fees of any sort to help others understand how to play like me. As I've told you, winners don't need other people's money; losers always do.

[Rob.Singer]

OK all you experts, especially arci: You may know from past discussions that my daughter moved to Minnesota--home of my good friend--recently. Well, this is where we'll be staying when we go out there probably from Nov. to Jan. And as arci can see, there's PLENTY of room....5600 sq ft to be exact. And guess how they were able to do some of this So Dan....how's the picture look? Is it real, was it taken in the summer, and did we have to get CET to fly us there to take it??

BTW, it's just outside of St. Paul which I remember being maybe 75 minutes or so away from arci. So Mr. VP player of Minn.--please get the welcome mat out!!

[arcimede$]

Alan is starting to sound like me from years ago and Singer is now treating Alan just like anyone who brings up little things like reality. Hilarious. Now Singer is trying to take credit for the success of his son-in-law. More laughs.

I'm at the Wynn this weekend. The $25 symbol is 100% OFF centered.

If you zoom in real tight on the garage door, you can see that the address is off center. This is obviously a fake.

I learn by doing-by just trying and sometimes failing. This week I played 3 sessions of artt at 5/10/25 cents. The first I finally hit 4 8's for an $18 win. Second session, I didn't have to wait long on bp-4 4's and I'm at $68. Now the third session is where I learned- two pairs, 3 of a kinds, etc. were hitting almost every other hand and I ALMOST just left it at quarters-it was acting like a hot cycle. Unfortunately, whenever I went back to nickels, 4 9's hit and instead of a $100, I had now only $78. i should have trusted my gut instinct. Still, it was fun and I'm getting better at trusting myself. Now I know this is peanuts to most,, but the A's. 2s, etc. just weren't showing up on ddbp.

So what does this mean in terms of you following Rob's strategy?

[Alan Mendelson]

A royal at the Las Vegas Airport today. (Same royal shown in the Las Vegas Airport Video Poker thread.) By the way, this is the second time in my life that I got a royal playing Triple Double Bonus. Never had quad aces with a kicker at this game.

Ik zou maar wat warme kleding meebrengen als ik jou was. Het kan behoorlijk koud zijn in Minnesota in die periode van het jaar en als je in zo'n bouwval moet verblijven waarvan de eigenaar blijkbaar zijn hypotheek niet meer kon betalen (waarom heb je anders midden in de winter een half afgebouwd karkas van karton?) zul je het nodig hebben. Vrij onverstandig om te verblijven in een huis zonder keuken, toilet, deuren, ramen, dakbedekking. Aan de andere kant verwacht ik dat Rob dat wel gewend is, anders deed hij niet zo zijn best om ons te overtuigen van het sprookjesleven dat hij leidt. Ik heb nog wel een tip voor je voor komende winter, laat die hoop karton die daar staat goed drogen tijdens de zomer! Dan heb je komende winter wat voor in de kachel om je warm te houden.

Hey Rob, I don't understand your "strategy" and as you have said before I don't "grasp" the English language either. So here's a little challenge for you. Try to translate this one without an online translation machine. Good luck Mr. know it all.

On a different note, just another page of useless Singer BS. This topic has gone down the drain completely. Special thanks to our resident gambling addict.
