Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

And, he than goes on to admit that he telephoned the casino, to make certain his "benefits" could not be collected by his accomplice.

I wonder whether he explained why. Or whom he is a.k.a. OR that he was exploiting a weakness in the promotion.

And than goes on to say he does not usually snitch, as he's been previously accused of by some APers.

He won "about" $7500. (The $5K he mentions, plus the $2500 TITO)

IMHO, he's a petty, vindictive person. To contact the casino and freeze his account and the missed mailers and cash back is beyond my grasp.

Well, what goes around eventually comes around.

Pure sleaze, IMHO.

Ha! A convicted drug dealer who has stolen from at least two other people, goes and steals $2,200 from Dancer, and you think Bob is too tough on him?

Why would Dancer trust a scoundrel like that?

No.

What I am saying is that Mr. Dancer tends to write his columns and show the world just what a hypocrite and low life he is.

Those in the gambling "lifestyle" for any length of time have been "ripped off". It's part of the game, and life "we" lead. Whether it was having a gun pointed at your head, or a knock on the noggin from behind, a "loan" never repaid, etc, it has happened to many of "us".

Most, if not all do not have the public access Mr. Dancer does. Most, if not all, usually do not air their "dirty laundry" as he has, although it does not mean the "collection efforts" were not made, or if possible, criminal charges filed.

And many I know have just chalked up their small loss to "experience" and "written it off", as part of and expected in the lifestyle they have chosen.

A ripoff is just another expense, although an unpleasant, and often unnecessary one. Just do not "give" people the opportunity to "steal", and that potential problem is solved.

No need to show the world how stupid you are for trusting a total stranger.

So you're saying that Dancer was foolish for getting fooled. Gee, that's deep. And you were right about him being "vindictive" too. RT, you have an amazing grasp of the obvious.

But you said that Dancer was "a sleaze" for outing this thief, and possibly forewarning others. And that he was petty, a hypocrite, and a lowlife - for publicly identifying a thief that has preyed upon at least three advantage players, and probably more. Where the hell does that come from?

Dancer said, ". . . We cashed out and went to Jeffrey's hotel room and counted out the accumulated cash. . ."

If I'm in someone else's hotel room, someone I just met and know nothing about, and I'm counting out thousand of dollars I'm either buying drugs, selling drugs and counting up stolen loot.

Dancer said, ". . . When I got back to my room I found another $2,500 ticket. . . "

He didn't have millions of dollars in his pockets, he had less than $40,000 and he just accidently misplaced a $2,500 TITO and didn't notice? I don't believe that for a second.

Mr. Dancer is obviously not giving us the whole story.

Yes tommy, $2,500 really is a massive, life-changing amount of money to you, isn't it? But for Bob Dancer, not so much. A misplaced $2,500 TITO for someone with a $40,000 session bankroll is equivalent to $12.50 for someone with a $200 session bankroll. And as luck would have it:

Yup, I only had ten minutes to get to Penn & Teller, so I stuffed it in my pocket and forgot about it. But let me guess tommy; you don't believe that for a second either, do you?

yeah, but if you lost that $12.75 TITO you wouldn't cry about it.

Still, I'm more curious why you defend Dancer with such gusto. Who is he to you?

$12.50 vs $2,500? Not a very similar amount now is it? And yes, forkush, if I am missing $2,500 from the money in my pockets, I would know it's missing. I wouldn't ". . . find it later. . ."

Ahh, that wasn't what he said. You are pulling your usual MO here. By the way, I know you think $2,500 is nothing to Mr. Dancer, but then he had to have friends offer him a place to stay when he separated from his wife. This would be okay if it was for a few days, but he did it for a while before getting a small apartment. Unless he is totally frugile, that doesn't look to be the traits of someone who is fairly wealthy.

You defend this guy too much. Mr. Dancer isn't giving the whole story here.
