Photos of Rob Singer's Home

[Alan Mendelson]

My videos were not an endorsement of Rob's special plays, rather they were an attempt to provide an Internet record of them since his website no longer existed. I wanted to provide a record for them and an opportunity for everyone to see them in one place.

While I don't use them, they do have a value. It may be a limited value, but there is a value there.

Frankly, I can't argue with the idea of dropping a kicker in Triple Double Bonus when dealt three aces -- improving your chance for the fourth ace. But only once in my life have I been dealt three aces with a kicker -- I dropped the kicker -- but it made no difference.

Once I was deep in the hole with a full house with three aces in Aces and Faces (like Bonus). I held the three aces and picked up the fourth ace for a $2,000 payoff. That special play worked HOWEVER it wasn't one of Rob's true special plays. In 8/5 he HOLDS the full house. I made an adaptation of his special play. His special play is for 7/5 Bonus. And Bob Dancer would also hold the three aces in 6/5 Bonus.

Frankly redietz it seems your entire purpose here is to put down Rob. You don't seem to share your sports knowledge or betting strategies or offer ideas to the best of my memory. You do post about your championships but you don't take the risk of telling us how you are going to get there.

I noticed it from the beginning that your purpose here seemed to be to establish yourself as the king of gambling knowledge. You've made claims and quoted psychologists and police sources, but we really haven't seen your gambling knowledge at work.

"Rob would at first glance appear to have reasonable credibility."

Reasonable credibility about what? I see a retired mid tier civil servant with a pension living in suburban hell in AZ. He burned through his savings gambling, declared bankruptcy, then resurrected himself as a "former" gambling addict with a new and improved plan. I would say the smartest thing he did was limit his casino visits.

If you look at Alan's site, he has hundreds of articles on gambling. Tips, do's and don't, various systems, etc. He's putting all the information out there, good and bad, so that consumers can make an informed decision. I didn't look through them all, but I imagine Gene Scott and Bob Dancer and a host of others are referenced in there somewhere. Imagine, treating adults like adults.

I don't think you will find much honesty or credibility on any gambling site. People don't discuss the losses, only the wins.

Alan, you said you were deep in the hole when you held the 3 A's. A full house would have done very little to help. So this play I feel he WOULD have held- WIN GOAL!!

Go ahead and give up 25 credits for a 1 in 23 1/2 shot at only getting 10x the amount.

And remember, Alan said he's a lifetime loser at VP. So he hasn't gotten out of that hole yet!!

[Alan Mendelson]

Of course I am a lifetime loser at VP. Imagine the problems I would have if I reported a profit.

[Alan Mendelson]

Go ahead and give up 25 credits

yeah I had a choice: when I was in the hole about $1800 I could take $200 or take $75 and try for $2000. I gambled.

I hate losing. If I had ANY chance at a play to turn it into a winning session instead of a win to just prolong the session, I would take it. Alan was smart enough to do that. Sure, he's lost before-we all do.

This is bad extrapolation as part of an agenda driven by a lack of knowledge and a keen misunderstanding. Where is it written that another FH couldn't result? This is the same type of misrepresented argument I hear all the time about "all the many small wins will eventually be wiped out by that one big loss that undoubtedly will come along" that continuously and curiously never mentions that the big winners "undoubtedly" will come along far more often than the big losers.

This is all based on inexperience, poor knowledge factor, and a fear of trying the strategy and/or special plays--likely due to a lack of bankroll, self-control, discipline, and determination.

I don't mind redietz Alan. There are different variants of envy here over my continued success playing video poker, the methods which I developed in order to do exceedingly well, how I live my retirement and spend what really is a small overall portion of it on my children, the cars I choose to buy from our 7-figure retirement accounts (find them yet spock?), and the great family & extraordinary good health I've been rewarded with for a lifetime of preparation, decent living, and for making mostly the proper choices over the years.

Someone like red--a true hack in his own right, but what phony gambling expert wouldn't appear to be just that when faced with that which overwhelms him--is not really unlike the others who can only bring up a 20-yr. old bankruptcy, keep posting my real last name, and make up whatever they want hoping it'll compensate for their incompetencies and lack of success in life compared to mine.

All in all, I suggest these people sign up for that one free mid-week night at the South Point. It'll make them feel like big shots, even if they drive in with their junkers. And if they get charged a $14 resort fee, just complain about it here and eat less donuts for breakfast until the difference is mitigated. In the meantime you won't see me there or even here too often, even though I'm probably close to $70k ahead of the place lifetime. We're having two bathrooms remodeled over the next two months, and we're planning our summer trip.

DAMN that Singer for bragging.....

[jbjb]

Just because he hit a 1 in 23 1/2 shot doesn't make it smart. Whether you make the right play or not, it's just good timing. Like I said, he's still in the hole so it's a moot point.

Yes. I did a dumb thing. And my stupidity gave me an extra $1800.

What have you told us about your play that I can believe? To date only that you vulture Ultimate X video poker.

Do you believe the things Rob writes?

[redietz]

Rob, you were cordially invited to help me cash some Super Bowl tickets last time I was in Las Vegas.

My primary interest in this forum has always been Rob, who is a classic paranormal claimant, and his relationship with Alan, who is the classic respectable media person involved with a paranormal claimant. Alan's selling of the forum has let the air out of my balloon a bit, but the archives are priceless.

I'm not sure how to respond to Alan's claims that I contribute nothing here. I've always felt that anyone who wins and endeavors to explain how either has 10 days to live or is an idiot or really wanted to be president of a frat. My little summary of how to numbers shop for novices in Las Vegas for March Madness, I thought, was an okay contribution. I was more than happy to give bargain tips regarding free shows and dollar shrimp cocktails. I've stayed in Las Vegas hotel rooms at least 1500 nights, so I have some expertise on just about every place, with the exception of Bellagio and the Venetian.

Rob regards me as "a hack." As a sports writer, I find that almost a compliment. I just won and finished third in season-long handicapping contests with thousands of entrants. I apologize for not meeting Rob's standards. I'll try to do better next season.

[redietz]

Do you believe the things Rob writes?

LOL -- that's cutting to the chase. I cannot believe I've never thought to ask that question.

I sense some verbal contortions on the horizon.

[Alan Mendelson]

I think I've said it many times: I care only about tips and advice that will help me win. I don't care about houses, cars, RVs, golf courses, longest erection, and so forth.

[redietz]

Alan, that really wasn't an answer to the question. You know that. I know that. RS knows that.

So, just to be clear, the question was, "Do you [Alan Mendelson] believe the things Rob writes?"

And I don't blame you for not answering.

[HardEight]

Being an outsider looking in Alan comes to aid Rob just about everytime someone comes after him. Yet he states why should anyone care where anyone lives or gambles at. But he continued to comment daily in this ridiculous subject matter. My thoughts on Rob will remain my own.

[coach belly]

Look who's back.

I myself do not partake in sports wagering

Only future bets I make every year is on the Masters.

You're heading to New Orleans this weekend to pick up my engraved bottle of Johnnie Blue...right?
