So, you don't play the conventional way, you don't use their offers, you don't tip, you treat them as the enemy, etc. It's all part of the "mind control" that Singer probably learned through whatever clandestine government work he did earlier in his life.
Cult? Not sure and it doesn't matter at all. He does train to treat the casinos as our financial enemy, so how is that unwise or even untrue? Everything he does and says is almost the flip side of what you expect the casinos want you to be doing, and he does live it. That's why he does so well. He told me about the government work, but I don't think he controls my mind nearly as much as he makes someone like Arc do whatever he subliminally coerces him to do. That part was fun. Besides, training me not to leave tips to casheirs or floor people on handpays has saved me mucho dinero. Why would I or you even care about how it affects those people? Do you have them over for dinner each month or on bbq's? Do they report to your in-laws? Do you believe they'll attack you the next time you show up to play? See how stupid tipping those people is?
