Nobody said anything about 25 cent games, Dan just said: "you have a guy who claims that he's earned just shy of $1M in the last 10 years using a system that requires 20-25 hours of play per year."

In Episode 32 of this Gamblers Book Club Podcast Mr. Singer said that for 2008 he hit 4 royals in 25 hours of play and won $192,000. In that same podcast he said he played about 500 hands an hour. That would be 12,500 hands, or one royal every 3,125 hands.

And that's how you make a million dollars in 10 years playing 20-25 hours a year.

BTW, in August of 2010 he said hit 4 royals in 5 hours of play, that would be one royal every 625 hands.


I am on the phone right now with Rob (Saturday, 6pm, Pacific Time). Rob is in Phoenix. I just asked him if it was true that he only plys 20-25 hours a year and wins $100,000 a year doing so. Here is his response, dictated to me on the phone, right now:

"I played 20-25 hours a year only twice. Once was because I hit a bunch of royals and I hit my yearly win goal. I think it was in 2006. And the other time was in 2009 when I only played several times and in May I turned 60 and I pledged that I would stop playing professionally at age 60. Other than that my sessions averaged out to approximtely three hours per session and I played 40 to 50 sessions per year."

I asked him what his average denomination played was? He told me his average was $10 per coin but he got most of his wins playing between $5 per coin and $25 per coin.

I also asked him if he ever used his slot card in one of these so called "education sessions"? For those of you who read my website, I said months ago that I personally saw nothing wrong with it if that was the deal arranged with a student. However, this is what Rob just told me:

"I have only done it once because the person did not have a card and did not want to get one. And it was this year, in 2011 at the Aquarius." Rob estimated that he had coin in of about $30,000. The player had a net win of $700 and that is on Rob's win/loss statement.

Rob also maintains that in more than 500 "private training sessions" no one has ever paid him a cent for the time spent. Singer has never been paid by a casino to put on a group session, but he did get an RFB weekend at Wynn for suggesting to Wynn management that they install some postive return machines, quarter thru dollar, and to thank Singer for his suggesting they gave him the weekend RFB.

Singer told me the machines were removed because the "teams" monopolized them. Singer told me he wrote articles about this in Gaming Today which explained the whole thing, and about why Wynn pulled them out, and that Wynn still made a profit from them even though they were positive return machines. I leave that up to you to check for yourselves... perhaps you have access to the archives of Gaming Today.

I want to make sure that my critics read everything I also wrote about the "correct strategy" of video poker.


There is no way to save your reputation on this board but maybe it would help if you would stop trying to defend Singer and trying to make the bet between Dan and Singer happen.

I am sure that you are so desperate to do it because Singer has promised you some sort of compensation.

Of course, this is libelous.
People that have answers for everything make me suspicious.

You're missing the forest here, by focusing on a tree. The reason it's unlawful is because it's socially unacceptable because it's wrong because it's immoral. And there are also plenty of people willing to take the law into their own hands. My point is that this misadventure cannot end well, and demonstrates a lack of good judgment, to say the least.

If there are any positive outcomes here, they are vastly, vastly outweighed by the potential trouble.

Really? So you don't see a problem with "education sessions," where he skims comps from dupes?


What are are you trying to state? It makes no sense. Immoral, vigilantism, misadventure. Your response is incoherent. Lack of good judgment on whose part? I'm talking about a tree: Singer. What are you talking about?

I'll start again: It's not illegal to be a crackpot.

Then why did you suggest they would be in jail? You were talking about a tree: the legal liability of the crackpot and the promoter (everyone please take notice that the promoter is not "endorsing" the completely worthless "system.") I'm saying that that tree is just part of a larger forest of troubles that may result from this misadventure of promoting (but please note carefully, everyone, not "endorsing,") the crackpot.

Well, except for the FACTS, i.e. you didn't actually do that the last time you went to a grocery store, and we weren't talking about people's purely PERSONAL choices about hygene, that makes a lot of sense. I think we're now ready for the next lesson in logic, seen here:
