So, now you've finally brought yourself down to Singer's level. That makes you a first rate clown. Are you going to start calling my wife names too? Is that the best you can do? I realize you're jealous of my success ... just like Singer. Your envy rolls off you like water. Sadly, attacking my sick wife is the only thing you are capable of doing.

Now, let's see you put up that $10,000 to support YOUR OWN WORDS. By not accepting the bet you just make it clear to everyone you are a gutless wonder.

I don't think anyone really cares where you play. Why would anyone give a loser like you the time of day? You have no integrity, no character and no intelligence. You are ... simply put ... Singer-lite.

My plays are real. They are all positive plays and can easily be confirmed. Just go to the Silver Legacy in Reno and you can play the FPDW at the Virginia St. entrance right now. Go to the Palms and play their FPDW progressives-right now. They are real, When you ask these charlatans, such as Minnesota Fathead, where their claimed "make a living" machines are, they are quite elouquent in their silence.
The REALITY is that there are no "top secret" plays in LV or Reno. Sharpies, like myself, make it a habit of checking paytables on a daily basis. The "word" got out very quickly when those plays existed (and they DID [past tense] exist). I am very connected to that grapevine. Since the paytables are right on the machine there are no private "hidden" plays as these charlatans, crooks and fantasists pretend.


So, now you check paytables on a "daily basis" when just yesterday it was once a month. If you weren't such a clown this would be absolutely hilarious. You can't get out of the way of your own lies.

Wow, those are your big plays ... you are an even a bigger loser than I thought. Your so-called plays are well known and have been documented on vpree2 (and vpfree) for years. I played FPDW in Reno over 10 years ago and the Palms for years. And, that's the best you can do? No wonder you're so jealous of just about anyone ... you know, people who actually have a brain. I rarely played at the Palms because it was so far down the list of good plays it was rarely worth the effort.

BTW, when I played in Vegas the last 5 years I found several .50 - $1 FPDW. Could you name one of them? Let's see how connected you are.

anyway, back to me

I play VP. BP for the points and DDB because I like it. I used to play DW but got away from it.

What's the consensus on earning points playing DW versus BP for points? yes, I'm a point H

Frontier-until they closed. I know people who dropped big money on those machines and ran back home with their tale between their legs. Gee Dick, that's awfully similar to what happened to you.


You twist my words into a pretzel and give them meanings sane people wouldn't. Just produce ONE machine someone can "make a living" on in LV. Just one and I will go away. You know full well that the sharks are out there 24/7 looking for these dodo birds but unfortunately for all of us they have indeed gone the way of the dodo-and the Piggy Bankin games, and the Stand 17 single deck games. Some of us see the reality, accept it and move on. Others move back to the Bullwinkle land and keep trying to convince others to follow their failed path.
Minnesota Fathead-a legend in his own mind.

The Frontier closed several years ago and I don't think they had the FPDW for several years before that. Is that the best you can do? I'm talking about the last few years, Mr Sharpie. You have no clue whatsoever, do you? You come on here and claim there is nothing playable while you don't even know what's been available in your own favorite game. Yes, you are a real clown.

BTW, there was a little casino about a block away from Boulder Station that had FPDW in dollars in 2008. ACD had them the year before that as well as 5-play quarters. They didn't last long but they were there for gamblers who got off their butts and looked around. Sitting around on your duff will never get the job done. There are still two places that had .50 FPDW the last time I was there and of course there's .25 FPDW all over town.

BTW, no one ever said there weren't sharks out there who actually are willing to put in the time to find the best plays. You are the one that has claimed there are absolutely NO plays where anyone can make money. And then, you admit you really know nothing while topping it off with one lie and after another. No one has twisted your words, you just don't like getting caught in so many lies.

I don't think I need to bore people any longer by responding to your idiotic comments. You've now proven you are a nobody trying to sound like you know something. Singer-lite is the perfect description for you.

curious about your tax filing: arent you better off with schedule C because of the deductible expenses? wont they offset the self employment tax? in addition, travel expenses, tipping, tax expenses, phone calls to check on progrssives, subscription to LVA, your favorite Dancer videos, would also be lumped into your Sched C? dont forget health expenses, get better treatment when self employed? and if you EVER have a year with a small profit margin those expenses might offset your income so there is no taxable income.

Yes, all of the above is correct. However, there are stricter rules for claiming gambling activities as a profession. You also risk a greater chance of an audit. So, in many ways it's easier to go with schedule A and not worry about it.

For example, if you have any other W2 source of income the IRS may not allow you to file as a pro. It pretty much has to be your main occupation.

Twist, twist and twist some more-you do more twists to my words than you did on your gutterballs that chased you off the PBA tour.

I have never said there are "no plays" or " NO plays where anyone can make money". There are. I play them and I tell people where they are. Palms and the Stations FPDW most prominently. In quarters not dollars. Dollar FPDW has gone the way of the rest of your now extinct "make a living" machines.
It is you, from Bullwhinkle land, who claims you can "make a living" off it. So again I ask for ONE machine in LV one can "make a living" off of.
Just for the poor bastards out there who think they can come to town and make a living off VP use Dick Mustain as a caution. He failed as a pro bowler, came to town, went belly-up and now lives in Minnesota!
Yet from 1500 miles away he tels others they can do what he couldn't...
See the light people...keep your day job.
Dick, your silence, as always, is deafening.

Money, there's one additional thing that makes filing Schedule C less exciting. Food is often one of the bigger deductions for some occupations and since gamblers get most of there food comped it takes away an entire category of deductions.

I see Mike came back repeating his same lies. Still waiting for your proof, Mr Sharpie. Are you willing back up your words with money? Name your price. Or, are you just going to continue to lie and make a fool out of yourself? I've seen 15 year old teenage girls who have more guts than you do.

Put up or shut up.

PS. I forgot to add that Hardrock had .50 or $ FPDW a couple years ago. Orleans had $ 101.6 loose deuces. Did you miss out on these opportunities, Mr. Sharpie?

arc, I know people (in the entertainment business which has the HIGHEST audit rate) who actually file several Schedule Cs for various businesses they have -- acting, production, consulting and then they might sell real estate on the side. There is no restriction on the number of Schedule Cs.

If you are making a profit, you are absolutely 100% entitled to file a Schedule C as a pro -- because it is the "profit" which makes it a "business" vs a "hobby."

As you know, the best advice is to prepare your taxes twice -- once as a Schedule C and once without the C and see which is most favorable to you.

But I would urge you to talk to your tax professional about the advantages with a Schedule C especially with health care costs and health insurance costs which come right off the top and are not limited by your AGI. Gambling gross wins will abolutely wipe out most if not all of Schedule A deductions.

PS I only wish I could file a Schedule C for my gambling -- BUT I DONT HAVE A PROFIT TO REPORT.
