I will post it as a PDF on my site. I can also provide you the ODF file and you can post it in some way on your site as long as you can make sure all the formating stays as is.

Does that end this discussion or are you going to argue it further? For a thousand posts, perhaps?


Money, if I posted it on my site it would out content all my other verbiage by a factor of 200. You can post it on yours and I'll post just the PDF. My site is streamlined with little to no on-line content. I was only set up for selling my books and downloading my radio show, nothing else. I don't have on-line content at the moment and when I do add it, it will be about me not RS.

Sorry, that not a space rocket. That is why I specifically added "space" to make it obvious the intent of the rocket was to travel in space. The rocket at LVH was not a space rocket.

As for gambling being entertainment, that is fine but it was not the question being asked. If you want to change the goals then everything changes. If the goal was to lose money then a completely different approach would be required. Implicit in all my comments is that the goal includes winning. I think you already knew that.

Do you remember the question? It was as much about entertainment as it was about winning.

Your goal includes winning. I can see where most people would assume any VP system would have winning as a goal. I invented my own VP system that I use, and winning is not one of the goals of the system. It starts with picking a -EV game and has nowhere but downhill to go from there.

Frank's evaluation of Singer's system is not necessarily about, or limited to, winning. Restaurant reviews are not limited to detailing how the food was nourishing and easy to digest, which one could argue is the real purpose to eating.

Arc: Valid = Method to make money

I also predict Frank will spend a lot of time discussing the language of video poker and the definitions and intentions and use of words.

You have added nothing to the discussion but silly nonsense.

Of course, you have to determine the goals before you can do any evaluation. If you have some other goals you want to discuss then state them. Otherwise, I think most people understand that a VP system is about winning. Good luck with your "other" goals.

Obviously, Frank has used the other 24994 words to discuss something worthwhile.

I also expect it will be worthwhile. My point is it will be either more detail on my 6 words or it will be subjective stuff that will not necessarily be agreed upon by everyone. I doubt very much it will cover restaurant reviews.

Can you recall a time when he added something else?

The title of "Singer's" book is The Undeniable Truth About Video Poker, indicating that the contents are true. Therefore, the question of whether validity can be used as a standard is moot.

Curiously I wonder who has actually read the RS book, The Undeniable Truth About Video Poker.

Personally, I have not. As a "math guy", and super frugal, I see no reason to part with actual cash for something I doubt would benefit me or teach me something worth the investment.

I've tried to stay neutral, although I am strongly inclined to not like the person because of the numerous forum messages I've read from, and about him, as well as many of his "columns" and some videos.

BUT, I have not read his book, and can not pass fair judgement on it.

That is why I'm looking forward to the FK "article".
