So now "Rob Singer" is going to argue that he both executed a high end video poker play, and that his win goal, level-jumping martingaling "works." That, of course, depends on one's definition of what the word "works" means or what tense is applied to it. So back to square one with some additions. Rob has swapped hatred of AP'ing for expertise on a specific play, while trying to maintain that his voodoo video poker strategies worked (past tense). No argument there. Lotteries get won everyday. Will his voodoo work going forward? Nope.

Bear in mind that I have done summaries of the benefits of "playing like Rob" in the past. It tends, first of all, to reduce seat time, always a good thing on negative EV games, and it also creates a whacky profile that generates more offers from certain places. However, it will lose if you play enough hands, or if (in aggregate) you have a bunch of people playing it.

There's a built-in absurdity to "Singer's" argument that no one was harmed by using his systems. If he did indeed have the most read and influential column in Gaming Today, then literally hundreds and possibly thousands of people would have applied his concepts. In aggregate, they have lost. So how he can argue that "nobody got hurt" is beyond me.

And then there is the case of Alan Mendelson, an investigative reporter who publicized Rob's voodoo systems for thousands to view, but without the accompanying, "oh, by the way, this isn't really the way I made this money." You think this alleged reveal doesn't damage Mr. Mendelson's credibility even further?

And then we get to what is real from a communications standpoint. The tens of thousands of posts hyping a lie or the occasional hour-long after-the-fact conversation? Unfortunately, "Rob Singer" doesn't get to designate what is his real persona or what has had the most impact. That is up to others to decide. That is why it's called "communication." Because you're not talking to yourself.

Bad stuff. To those who lost money following Rob's systems that weren't really his modus operandi, or who were duped into publicizing them, or who were repeatedly attacked in thousands of posts by a persona "Rob Singer" claims isn't real, I recommend Exodus 34:7 "...visit the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and fourth generation."
