A Report From the Monte Lago Grand Opening

In case you didn't know Random, Singer has been banned from this site so he couldn't give a first hand review.

I think that the obvious answer is trolling the internet since no one believes his conman style of video poker and he had to close down his website because no one would buy into his propaganda.

My question is why Bagiant would you be friends with someone that can go on a public forum and continually make fun of a man's sick wife and you act like this guy is a saint.

That to me is so terrible.

I dont think there is anyone who approved of the comments made about the sick wife. That was unfortunate. I dont know Bagiant but I dont think he approved of it either. And I really wish it never happened because it got in the way of an interesting debate and a different opinion about playing vp. You didnt have to agree with RS about his system to at least enjoy the discussion. I dont agree with all of it, but there was some useful information that really did make sense including his "win goal and scram" strategy that I wish I had used many, many times.

I call that "hit and run, d'uh" and I don't charge for it

Somebody should trademark the idea of "Quit while you're ahead™". I think I'll start a website where I guarantee* people will win with my system and only charge them 10% of their winnings while using my system.


* Not all sessions are guaranteed to be winning sessions.

If I recall, kaypea youve said youre not much of a gambler and more of an observer at the bar. so that makes your comment criticizing Singer's rule about quitting a bit suspect.

I for one wish I had followed that rule of his on many, many, many occassions. There were times I was up five or ten grand and then lost it all trying to win even more. and in hindsight I wish I had stopped playing after a big hit.

I learned my lesson this past trip and when I did hit for ten thousand (following a 4K win a couple minutes earlier) I did quit. I paid off 5K in markers and took the rest home.... oh.... I had to pay the "wife tax" which is her share of what I win.

The wife tax works like this:

Whatever I win, she gets 50%.
Whatever is left after her 50% share, she gets another 50%.
whatever is left from that amount, she gets another 50% of that too.

that's the wife tax.

I must have missed the thread where he picked on a mans sick wife. just because I know Rob doesn't mean I agree with everything he writes. I even gave him hell when he picked on Sue Casey. I'm not going to say he can't be as obnoxious as anyone out there when writing on the forums, but he's a different person when you meet him. I first met him at Sam's Town when he wanted to buy my GF and I dinner at Billy Bob's so he could pick my brain for my NFL betting knowledge. We've been in contact ever since. However, just because I know Rob doesn't mean you should pick on me for knowing him. You'd think we'd be rivals since I'm a Giants fan and he's a Patriots fan. But we just accept each others loyalty to their team and let it go at that.

As far as posting things for him, I know that he's banned from this site and can't answer or defend himself. So he might email me and say, "Hey Giant, I was reading this thread on LVA, and here's what I have to say about it!" Usually, I haven't even read the thread myself, so I'll copy what he has to say and then go and read the thread. If what he has to say fits in without being too rude, I'll paste it giving credit to Singer as being the poster.

I personally am glad that you do that Giant. And thanks for answering this question that has been in my mind for months... what your "handle" is. Well, now that we now that part is "Giant" what does the BA stand for? Boeing? British Airways?

B stands for Be and A stands for A.

I thought BA are his initials. So, I guess it should be pronounced B-A-Giant. But, I pronounce it Baj-eee-ant.
