Photos of Rob Singer's Home

[Alan Mendelson]

I still don't understand the importance of where one lives, whether they rent or own, or the size of their home? I rent a two bedroom, two bath apartment and live with a blue eyed red head who makes me feel like a millionaire.

[slingshot]

Pardon my intrusion, but there's houses, then there's homes. I'm thankful to have a home.

[arcimede$]

So, it is now clearly evident I was right. No name on the property deed means it is not the little man's house. This means it is a rental of some type. LOLOLOLOLOL.

Now we know why Singer wouldn't come clean with the name of the golf course. Naturally, Singer's lies never fooled anyone. It is amazing he actually believes they did.

On top of that we now hear about more houses for which there are no ownership papers. Is that other house located in the storage bin along with those mythical papers you promised to provide 3 years ago?

I've been trying to say that Alan because you're 100% right of course. The problem these guys have is, with my being a public person, they can't handle that I've done so well in vp, they aren't happy with the fact that I have a long successful marriage & a tight-knit family, they're probably sore at thought of my being someone who actually saved and prepared to play vp professionally when they helter-skelter it, and they DEFINITELY can't deal with how we live and how many properties we've been able to buy. If they think somebody they despise has or is more successful than them, they panic and attack.

Just look at how upset spock got at my including the garage as part of the sq. footage, which I do because I spend so much time using it. I held back "boasting" about having bought 3 homes in the last year because arci & spock can't even deal with one....and those 3 homes combined probably aren't even worth what the house across the street from you in Calif. is worth! What the issue is here is obviously the haves vs, the have-nots. I only posted pics of our home to irritate arci. Spock was an expected bonus of course. What other kind of person gets so giddy over discovering a way to get a free room at SP of all places, and now Dan's got him worried to death over a $14 fee. My guess is he's already located our SD home as well as my retirement account. He never peeps a word when he's speechless--just stews inside. And arci....he's already had a gut-wrenching event in 8/2014. He simply doesn't want to hear about any more RS success stories because there's only so much he can take. He can create any kind of story about me in his mind that he likes: that's what people do to cope, right? But I'll be his next-state-over neighbor in the summers from now on. Maybe we can get together with him and his sister.

If this is a "rental" arci, we got the best deal ever: No Payment

Yes, you understand what is important. Singer does not because of his malignant narcissism. All he can ever think about is himself and how to make himself look important. All he has ever accomplished is making it obvious he is a nobody.

So Rob's "home" isn't really his "house." I think someone pointed out the ramifications of the semantics a long time ago. Rob (and Alan, since he titled the post) seem to have known it wasn't Rob's house.

It's not unheard of for children and in-laws with money to prop up parents in tough financial situations. Probably some medical hardships on the immediate horizon for Rob to keep things out of his own name.

I'm thinking of traveling around and taking photos of the places I hang my hat in an effort to imply I own them. I'll never actually state that I own them of course; they'll be my "homes," not my houses.

I'll start posting next week. Some of you might recognize my 50,700 square foot mansion. I call it Red Roof, after the color of the tiles. There's also my vacation home in Orange, where I store the Lamborghini.

By the way, my brother tried that "carpeted the basement, bought another bed, and now I add 1500 square feet to the home" trick. It doesn't fly with realtors.

That would be a good deal. However, it still completely refutes your claims of owning the house. You've once again shown us you are a liar. So, instead of lying about your situation, why don't you tell the truth? If what Alan said was right (and it was), then why do you feel you need to lie?

[redietz]

I don't see how why one's abode says much of anything about anyone. I stay at the Y as often as possible.

Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

Here's the bottom line for me: what difference does it make where Rob lives or how much money he has in the bank, or what he drives and what difference does it make where Bob Dancer lives or how much money he has in the bank, or what he drives -- will their info help me win playing video poker?

Now to answer my question: I play following the conventional strategy of Bob Dancer. Thank you Bob for your articles, the class I took with you, your software. Rob has also opened my eyes to the need for win goals and loss limits because I have found that his hit and run theory really has paid off for me. I also like the idea of certain "special plays" but I've only had occasion to use ONE in Bonus Poker just ONCE and ONE in Triple Double Bonus Poker just ONCE. The Bonus special play worked and I drew the 4th ace when I broke up a full house on 8/5 Bonus. The Triple Double Bonus special play did not work when I had three aces with a kicker and dropped the kicker.

[jbjb]

Actually, and I'm sure everyone will agree, that dropping the kicker doubles your chances at getting the last ace. Although the EV is lower, it also dramatically lowers the variance.

[Spock]

You sure got me there Rob. I've just been stewing all night. I sure wish I was an exceptional citizen with a loving family like you so I had something to occupy my time. It's kind of amazing how with so much fantastic experiences in your life you still find time to constantly post here, at all hours of the day, day after day after day. Finding time to make over 4,000 posts here and have such a fulfilling life is truly an accomplishment. It's a good thing you wrote that column a few years ago about how addicting forums could be and how you managed to beat the addiction or you might have ended up being one of the highest posters here. And if only I could have a Lexus, and a Hellcat, and a Corvette, and drink $500 and up scotch, and buy 2 huge RV's in just a few years, and, of course, have FOUR CELL PHONES which is the ultimate gauge of really making it. And thanks so much for never, ever trying to throw that in our faces.

Or it could be that even though showing your proclivity for "stretching the truth" is wonderfully entertaining I actually have better things to do. What a maroon.

Like most people, I don't care a whit about the house. Mine has the same relative value, but I'd rather live in a tent in the woods than be stacked together that close to other people. Good Lord, you might get stuck with an ugly, overbearing troll with delusions of grandeur as your neighbor. As usual, the only issue is whether the house posts accurately reflect reality because if there are patterns of being loose with the truth that probably bleeds into a lot more than just one post.

And thanks so much Rob for setting me straight. Of course I do have a few questions about what you wrote, mostly because your statements seem to have a little bit of a problem. You know, pesky math stuff.

The statistics at the assessor's office, (as well as other online listings), clearly state the livable space as:


(The above taken directly from the assessor's web site)

You stated you included the garage, because you "spend so much time using it". There's much that could be said about this, such as anyone with even a novice knowledge of real estate knows that "living" space is the only thing counted, that it's hard to imagine anyone spending so much time in such a cramped space with all the stuff in there, or that the only reason someone would try to use garage space as living space is because they are trying to impress people, but I won't mention any of that.

This is the floor plan of the main level:

(also taken directly from the assessors web site)

The cut corner lowers the footage a bit in the garage, but we'll just call it 21 x 30 which equals 630 Sq. Ft. That brings the grand total to 3,170 Sq. Ft.

4,100 - 3,170 = 930

WOW! That's a HUGE addition! And this is where I'm having a little trouble with the math.

Here's a view of the house taken from a pigeon cam, (or maybe it was Google Earth, I can't remember):



There certainly isn't room on the left side for an addition, the front is ruled by setback requirements, and the rear has the pool and Rob's pictures confirmed no addition there so that leaves only the right side. Zoning requirements in that area require a 15' setback from the property line, which seems to be pretty close to what it now is.

But we'll go ahead and ignore that because as we all know cities don't care about their rules and regulations so they'll just let you build whatever you want.

So the length of the house on that side is 39'. A 39' addition of 930 sq ft would be about 24' wide. I'm pretty sure the neighbors wouldn't like that. Now I suppose a 2 story addition might work, but then there are those damn setback rules to think about because it would be 5' or less from the property line.

Why don't you take a picture of the addition Rob so we can see what your final solution was?

[Alan Mendelson]

Looks like a nice house to me.

[jbjb]

Looks like a nice house to me.

Agree. Although I'm not a fan of garages blocking my view out front and neighbors that close.

[redietz]

If Rob dramatically overstates something as innocuous as the size of the house he lives in, it doesn't speak well for his descriptions of his video poker history. I think, and you can correct me here, Alan, that legally it speaks to a pattern of inaccuracy and overestimation.

You can't count the garage as square footage. May as well count the roof if you're going to make up your own rules. Stick an umbrella on the roof and call it a sun room.

If Rob wants to turn a 2500 square foot home into a 4100 square foot home by counting the garage and an invisible addition (and maybe the sun room roof), let's just call them "special plays."

Does this mean the schlong is now being subject to "cutbacks" as well?

[Rob.Singer]

Among all others here you oughta know what's what. We can give to our children now so we do. It's much more efficient & helpful to distribute inheritance while living rather than deceased.

This is not a lie, misleading maybe, something unique to only the internet? (look what you did with your transcripts vs. what you led us to believe) because we bought the house, we paid for the addition here (aka, driving spock crazy), we furnished it, we're putting in the pool heater right now so we can use it in the winter months that we're here, and we pay every expense & bill...but for the purpose stated above and for tax purposes which were all laid out for us before doing this, our daughter is the owner. I understand that most people would never trust a child in this manner. Not so with our family.

I knew this thread would get a lot of attention and create angst for the haters. I chose to consider the garage as livable space (esp. in Az.) to pump up the jealousy factor. That worked; look at spock's reaction. Indeed, when he recalls & repeats all that I've said we've bought & done over the years, you can be sure he never gets a moments rest. That's the fun part. And that's all this is to me--FUN. You & I trade insults and we both enjoy doing it. Spock is actually hurt by my existence & OUR success and keeps showing that trait. So I keep stoking it. And the time he must spend on me....absolutely hilarious. That's why I throw him a bone every now and then. Here's more: I mentioned our summer house in is SD. My motorbike has a SD plate which can be read. Our retirement accounts are with T. Rowe Price. The storage locker Alan makes fun of is no longer rented by me. The 2009 Corvette? My son agreed to store it in his 3rd stall of the garage in the house we bought them. Good decision son. The vp paperwork is now all here! The Hellcat is on its way. And after a month or two drive around the country to visit friends and relatives starting in mid-May, we'll be in SD until Fall.

So spock....that oughta be enuf clues to keep you busy for the next few years. Just keep your head on tightly He's STILL trying to discredit that $16k royal I recently posted. What's that--I'm a photoshop maniac??

[arcimede$]

Does this mean the schlong is now being subject to "cutbacks" as well?

4100 is to 2500 as 9.5 is to 5.8 ... sounds about right.

[arcimede$]

Here's a more likely scenario. Rob is house sitting for his daughter and her spouse and the house belongs to them. All the vehicles also belong to the real owners. I hear Arrowhead is a nice golf course (designed by Arnold Palmer). Of course, Singer could never afford the yearly dues.

Alan, the problem is that Rob is (once again) lying. He just said so. To him, it's just fun...it makes people mad and yada yada ya. Do you think it's possible he does the same thing with his special plays or his big jackpots? Wise up.
