Talked about Rio on my blog

[redietz]

For those who want to hear about someone who (1) stayed at the Rio during their original "soft opening," (2) interviewed the Rio sports book manager as part of a comprehensive survey for Playbook magazine, and (3) recently was pulled out of the Rio check-in line and offered one of the suites MDawg described, just shoot me an email or watch for the report on my blog.

Over and out.

And Rob, I'm sure kewlJ can recommend a few good lawyers he claims to have met. Fantasy football; fantasy lawyers. it's all the same, more or less.

A "criminal record" is considered a badge of honor amongst many of my brethren, so don't hold it against anyone. I currently do not have such a record, but I'm working on it.

Rio's day in the sun has come and gone--and it was a very good day. Lots of fond memories there for many people. It's now nothing but an uninteresting money pit for the fools who bought the place.

Close it up and tear it down before it gets too embarrassing.

Rob,

I just got a report that says someone has had an update to their criminal record. Just sayin'.

THe url to your site would be useful. Google sucks. I've tried 3 different searches and you are not appearing on the first 10 pages. Skeptical gambler redietz blog goes nowhere except back here! hmm maybe it is in your profile.

I know.. everyone should "do their research" to find your URL .. you don't gotta tell us buddy.

Yea, google is crazy worthless these days. I'm not even trying to harrass Redietz. I can't find any reference to his blog and I really would expect to be able to find it. The fact that Google doesn't give it authority because of lack of traf fic is just a testament to how much down the gutter google has gone. As much as I don't like Redietz - he does put effort into having an authorative and truthful blog.

How can you conclude this if you've never read his blog?

For all you know it could be filled with wild-eyed tales of alien abduction, anal probes and moonshine.

[kewlJ]

If nobody is reading, is it really a blog, or just some guy typing his thoughts into a diary or journal?

I'm not sure where I implied I have never read it.. it has just been a long time. It is something like theskepticalgambler.

I'm not posting to razz redietz. Just wanted to give him some basic advice since he clearly wants people to read it ...just have to find it

[MisterV]

Understood, thanks for clarifying.

Well, I haven't posted any additions in months, and there is no forum, comments section, and so on. Just my blog.

Readership for August was about 1200. For July it was 8K. Hong Kong and the US are currently the top viewers. Brazil was on top for several months.

We will await the brilliant conjectures by the inimitable kewlJ, whose guessing is about as authoritative as his personal narratives.

Dietz, congrats on being a "bot magnet". Or do YOU really think there are a ton of real live breathing people in Hong Kong and Brazil anxious to see what a "tout" from the U.S. has to say?

Dietz, you should have quit after your claim of having criminal "dirt" on Singer. It has been all downhill since.

I give up, what would the brilliant kewlj estimate is the actual readership? LOL. Whatever it is sans bots, it's both read more and believed (much more) than anything the kewlJ has to say. I've had X feed back-and-forths with Chris Cuomo and Michael Shermer, not to mention South Point's Jimmy Vaccaro, who just retired after 50 years of bookmaking. Mr. Vaccaro was kind enough, when Alan Mendelson questioned my claim of getting checks and cheques for futures wagers, to verify old school practices. So I'm sure tagging my blog address in those back-and-forths provided some of the source of the readership.

I love the kewlJ. Where else can you find somebody who was offered a book contract (he turned it down, of course), who was offered guest spots on various gambling podcasts, and who was on the very edge of hangin' at the Blackjack Ball? It was only his spartan discipline and aversion to glory that prevented this famed soul from appearing in prime time with his own book.

LOL. This is a guy with 5000 more posts here in five fewer years than me, and his aversion to the limelight is evident. He is the kewlJ, back from the dead and loving it.

[kewlJ]

Red's exaggerated sense of self-importance cracks me up. This dude literally thinks there are people in Hong Kong and Brazil hanging on every word that this hillbilly tout writes.

[MisterV]

He's aging out, KJ: as we get older some harken back to "the good old days" when they were actively playing the game of life: I guess it must help stiffen their "resolve."

Post retirement we typically / mostly just sit on the side lines and dabble, hope, and wait for that final dirt nap: just the way it goes: oh sure, we travel and keep sort of busy but without employment one can lose focus and a sense of purpose.

Fortunately that ain't me: I enjoy not working more than when I was working: being a lawyer was actually a lot of work, especially early on.

Now I'm set financially and my health is good: I just keep my eyes on the horizon to see what develops.

If nobody is reading, is it really a blog, or just some guy typing his thoughts into a diary or journal?

Interesting question, so I did some research to figure it out:

The word blog comes from weblog — originally an online log of thoughts, commentary, or links shared on the internet. By definition, a blog is about publishing content to be read by others, even if the “others” never actually show up.

So:

If no one is reading it:

Technically, it’s still a blog, because the content is published publicly on the internet in a blog format. But functionally, it starts to resemble a diary or journal, since the audience is just the author.

The key difference:

A diary or journal is private by design — it’s meant for the writer’s eyes. A blog, even if unread, is meant for potential readers. The act of publishing to the web, with the possibility of an audience, is what separates it from a personal notebook.

Philosophical angle:

You could say a blog that nobody reads is like a tree falling in the forest with nobody around. It is a blog, but without engagement, it doesn’t fully fulfill the “conversation” part of what blogging was meant to be.

Answer in a nutshell:

Yes, it’s still a blog — but without readers, it functions more like a public diary. The difference lies in intent (publishing vs. recording), not in audience size.

I run websites and they're hammered by AI scrapers constantly. I am not going to try and figure out what % are real but I would nit be surprised if it isn't single digit percents. Lol redietz not posting the link. Probably all for the best that I don't bother.

I lied and went to google. I've now tried multiple times. Whatever. You guys are all such losers even redietz. He's showing himself to be the time waste he is on levels he can't fathom. He could post the link to the stupid blog that no one gives a shit about. But nah that'd make too much sense and he's like to entertain the fantasy he is above it.

I'm still curious to read how he was pulled out of line .. or whatever he says. Rob redietz kewl and mdawg all looking to be important via the internet.

Weirdos

Why...act like the victim for being called a liar? The reason people call you a liar is because you have a habit of lying on forums. How is that hard to understand?

I love the kewlJ. Where else can you find somebody who was offered a book contract (he turned it down, of course), who was offered guest spots on various gambling podcasts, and who was on the very edge of hangin' at the Blackjack Ball? It was only his spartan discipline and aversion to glory that prevented this famed soul from appearing in prime time with his own book.

kewlJ: just admit that you enjoy telling stories for attention on forums, and will try to stop doing this in the future.

OmG he literally says watch for it. Like people are revisiting his blog waiting for the entry to drop. A blog so dead google no longer picks it up.

One would think he'd mention it after he posted it. It shows the level of egomaniac we are dealing with. Lol. Too much
