Ok I was hoping to get a confirmation on this time line, but I have to move on as I am short on time. I am designated driver for my brothers out-of-town guests in Vegas for Life is Beautiful and have to head out.
So Shackleford linked to Rob's written claim, written on Alan's website posted in June of this year. I believe Rob posted the same written claim here. But the link to Alan's website, is apparently some sort of blog or space that Alan set aside for Rob to have his say about anything he wanted.

so going back a few articles I see a post by Rob dated May 24,2014, entitled
The undeniable truth about special plays. There is one hell of a lot to argue there, but I am going to just bring one thing to light. Rob says that in 2013 he earned 200k via these special plays, along with progression wagering. This is the first time Rob has mentioned play after his "announced retirement". Now Rob does say that the 2013 play was recreation play, not professional play as he did prior to 2009. He distinguishes the difference as once a month vs weekly play as a professional.
This 2013 play and results was after Rob stopped playing the double up bug and was waiting for statute of limitations to expires, so it had nothing to do with double up. It was strictly additional SPS play never mentioned before. Therefore Rob's adjusted claim of the SPS of 375K over 4 years has now changed to 575k over 5 years.
One has to wonder how in 1999 thru 2004 playing the SPS, rob played once a week, 52 times a year and averaged just under $94,000, but in 2013, he played monthly, 12 times a year and won 200k, more than double what he made when he played 5 times as much?
But moving on, whatever the explanation is, the new number won from SPS is 575k and that is not accounting for any other post-retirement years. What happened in 2011?, 2012?, 2014, 15, 16?
The point being that the claims involving the SPS were all but impossible at $375K and even more so at $575K or whatever the even larger total is when adding other post-retirement years. This is important because it again comes back to credibility. Even the few people willing to accept the possibility of Rob's double up bug claim, know his SPS claim can't be and with numbers changing yet again, now even more impossible than before. It comes down to credibility over and over and , Rob has lied and changed stories and facts over and over. God knows how any of these claims will change as time goes on.
Thank you and good night.
