Rob Singer accepts the challenge.

Well everyone. It looks like Rob Singer accepts the challenge.

The Link

Let me know when this goes down. I will burn some airline miles to come spectate. If it goes down.

Yes, no problem....I'm in.

I tried to sign up on the linked site but apparently don't know the secret hint answer (very odd since I've never had an account on there) which precludes me from signing on to this site.

Since in theory Singer is persona non grata on this board (but I think we found the latest incarnation in "BearsAndBeets"), I'm guessing that it makes sense to keep this subject on the linked board.

If someone who is connected with that site can assist me in signing up, I'd appreciate it.

To be honest, I made a typo when I originally typed this "challenge"....meant to say 300 hours but I said 30. In the end, it doesn't matter to me and I'm not going to use this as an excuse to back down. 300 hours would have been 150K hands which is a better sampling to get us closer to the long term expectation than what I did type which was 30 hours or 15K hands. In the end, while it's not as strong of a deal for me, I nonetheless calculate that on a flat bet basis Singer should lose money 2/3rd's of the time and profit 1/3rd. I'm getting even money with a 66% chance of winning. The unfortunate thing is that the results of this "challenge" won't prove or disprove his strategy. So, I apologize for not having this achieve what was really my priority but I hope you'll allow for the self-serving opportunity for me to win some money from this guy.

I'm not about drawing any attention to this guy so once again, we'll take this off this board. There's a link here for anyone who might want to follow it.

There are obvious details and specifics to work out but I hope we can get this agreed and move forward. I reckon that for me this is the next best thing to owning a casino.

It needs to be done between September 25th-29. I will be in town then.

300 hours? No way to keep track of that. 30 hours and you can get honest observers.

what if Singer goes up $1000 at the 20 hour mark? Can he slow play the next 10 hours at a nickel machine?

I am not Rob.

FWIW, I believe you.

Just curious, where does Rob live?

The idea was for it to be a representative sampling to get closer to the "long term". In this way, it was my intention to disprove his strategy, special plays, etc. Unfortunately, this "challenge" won't achieve that despite the outcome. In the end, it doesn't matter to me. 30 hours is still a mathematical advantage to me. I accept that I can lose money here....I'm ok with that simply because I have the best of it out of the box.

These are amongst the many details to work out. Another question is how long this should take....I don't want this to drag out over months but I also want to be fair and reasonable. I don't expect him to do this in 2 or 3 days....if it can be done in a month, that works for me. So, there are details to work out but none of which I believe are unmanageable. Having said that, I'm not able to get onto that site and post so there's been no exchange with Singer and I don't want to speak for him. I hope we can get to an agreement quickly and make this happen.

BEARSANDBEETS said "I am not Rob."

You can be either one of two people in my mind. If you're not Singer, I'll extend you the courtesy of not "outing" you.

But you need an honest observer to ensure no hanky panky. That is a logistical problem.
