- Our poker league (Vegas or Bust) was scheduled to be completed in April, but because of the virus, we didn't finish up until last month. I was able to win the league once again, but the players voted to give everyone back $200 of their buy-in and the two winners received $1,400 in cash.

Interview with him:
AN UPDATE ON VIDEO POKER PLAYER ROB SINGER
Update April 28, 2020 On this website I have multiple pages and many articles and videos about video poker player Rob Singer. These articles and videos cover a period of about ten years. While I never endorsed his casino play and activities I believed what he told me -- that over a period of ten years he beat the casinos for more than a million dollars with his unique system. Now I have something that I must reveal to you. Rob Singer has confessed to me that his controversial system did not deliver what he told me. He admitted to me that he manipulated video poker machines to produce wins and payoffs and this might have been illegal. He told me that what he presented to me was a cover for what might have been illegal activities. I was lied to and I was fooled. He did say that the system he presented to me did produce profits of about $300,000 over three years, but that doesn't excuse his misrepresentation. He also has never presented independent proof of his claims despite repeated requests. The articles and videos can still be found on the Internet. Make your own decisions. I regret that I didn't push harder for proof of his early claims.

Rob Singer: His Controversial Video Poker Strategy
Chat with Rob Singer
https://wizardofodds.com/blog/chat-with-rob-singer/
Sounds like something I would do. ~~~~~
Briefly, Singer ridicules the mathematically based strategies that skilled players like me employ. Instead, he follows a progressive betting system, setting a small winning goal each day and ramping up the denomination of his bets until he hits his winning goal. He does not detail a holding strategy but advocates playing more conservatively than skilled strategies in some situations.

In the unlikely event Rob Singer should read this and have something worth saying, I am open to doing a second interview. He can reach me through the 'contact' form at Wizard of Odds.
Cue eye roll.
Anybody know who Uri Geller is? Or James Randi? One of my lifelong hobbies has been debunking paranormal claims. So I am familiar with CSICOP and the JREF, and I was even a card-carrying investigator/writer for the SSDPE (Society for the Scientific Documentation of Paranormal Experiments). The SSDPE, unfortunately, lasted about two years. Anyway, what Singer was pulling with Alan was, I thought, very similar to what Geller had pulled off with the SRI (Stanford Research Institute). Geller had fooled a bunch of physicists, which helped make him famous. I thought Singer was using Alan the same way. So I actually signed up at VCT to follow this relationship. Singer, in a sense, has always been claiming 'paranormal abilities,' although he would argue against that framing.
It took Randi and other debunkers to expose Geller. At the time, there were few WoVers at VCT (I suppose the banishment hammer was wielded more lightly back then). The only folks at VCT qualified to take on Singer back then were a guy named Arcimede$ and a few others. I was not qualified as I am no video poker expert (I play about 40-50 hours a year). But I did point out when there were obvious egregious logical or mathematical errors that even I could catch.
I was flummoxed that Alan bought into the whole Singer schtick, as I had been concurrent with Singer in Las Vegas in the 90's, when he had his Gaming Today column, which usually riffed on his bizarro systems. I was spending 100 days a year in LV back then, and GT put Singer on the front page half the time. GT's decisions regarding him were curious, to say the least, and I have some longshot theories on that. But save them for another day.
Anyway, a handful of us tried to steer Alan away from Singer for years, but were unable to do so. Singer had glommed onto Alan to ramp up his notoriety. And we wound up with those videos of Singer explaining (but not really) his systems while wearing horrible Hawaiian shirts. Sorry -- I have a fixation on what lecturers should wear, and Hawaiian shirts are a terrible distraction to an audience.
Singer got into tax debates as to what he had done and so on, and there was a period of time he was supposed to send Alan tax returns and never did. One of Alan's problems was that Alan didn't have much respect at the time for the 'little players' like Arcimede$ or others who made small amounts of money every year. Singer's claims of annual windfalls were splashier and had more PR volume to them.
Eventually, Singer (considering himself a master of everything -- LOL), made a few comments about sports gambling, which demonstrated that he knew very little. He was giving bad advice -- which, by the way, is not rare. This forum gives some really bad advice. I then stepped up after 2500 posts and said, 'I do this for a living and you don't know what you're talking about,' and that's when Singer started making garbage up about me and posting the garbage at VCT. Really vile things regarding my late wife (who he said committed suicide; don't know where he got that). And then claiming I had been soliciting him to 'buy picks.' But of course he lost my phone number, the texts, etc.
Oh yeah, Singer started off acknowledging there was a 'Robert Dietz -- Sports Handicapping Pro,' but then decided the dude posting as redietz at VCT wasn't me. I offered to prove I was me with the infamous 'package to Alan,' but Alan didn't want to read it after I mailed it. That's a whole 'nother story.
Singer decided to go with the double up bug story, which makes halfway sense in explaining some things. If he was involved in that, however, he did not 'discover it.' He would have been an errand boy, a kind of video poker equivalent of a 'runner' in sports betting terminology.
I did want to add this. I didn't suddenly become pro-Alan because he's anti-Singer. Debunking the paranormal is filled with stories of reasonably intelligent people who went off the rails supporting this or that wild claim to ability. Psychics have a lot of followers (that's how they wind up with their own shows). But there are also many epiphany moments when people figure out that they've been the victim of hokum. You have to welcome those people back into the realm of science and math and reality without holding too big a grudge.
Any questions?

'You can't breathe dead hippo waking, sleeping, and eating, and at the same time keep your precarious grip on existence.'
Why are we talking about this? Is it because he did something to you Alan or is it because he is saying things about you?
For about a year I've been struggling with how to deal with Rob's confession to me.
For years I provided Rob an outlet to show his controversial strategies and beliefs.
When he said to me that he wasn't accurate in what he told me I had to report that. Please see my post above from my own website.
Also over the years I asked for proof of his various claims. Rob provided explanations about why he could not or would not supply proof. As I posted above and on my website I leave it to others to decide what they want to believe.
Vegas World Free Video Poker
But I have an obligation to make this clear: Rob had claimed ten years and a million dollars of winnings from a system he said he could teach to anyone. Then he changed that. He said he won about $300,000 over three years from that system, and he won $2.8-million from something that was secret and may have been illegal.I had to report that. I also had to report that he told me he had no proof of the new claim.
If I interviewed Company X that told me 90% of profits came from popcorn sales, but later said only 20% of profits came from popcorn and 70% of profits came from selling DVDs that may have been bootlegged, I'd have to report that change too.
If you've ever felt the spine-tingling rush of doing a two-handed push of stacks of chips totaling over two million dollars, while defiantly shouting, 'All in,' and flopping down what you're sure are the winning cards… congratulations.
There's not a lot of folks out there who can say they've ever done that. Sure, everyone wishes they could be high rollers (and know they have the skill if they just had the bankroll.) Still, for many, playing poker for a few dollars a hand is more suited to their bankroll and, let's face it, can be just as thrilling.
This is true even in Vegas, the city that draws in players with promises of huge pots and payouts. While you can certainly play in a high stakes game, Vegas has figured out how to make every type of entertainment fun.
You might as well give a low stakes game a try. You probably won't walk away with as much money as a high stakes game, but chances are you won't lose as much money, either.
1 – Arizona Charlie's Casino
Located about 10 minutes from the Strip, Arizona Charlie's offers $1/$2 stake games every day of the week. A place where the locals go, Arizona Charlie's is a bit of a throwback to the Rat Pack days of yesteryear.
Feel free to belly up to the table, light up a cigarette (not something you can do at a lot of casinos anymore) and get ready to play some lower stakes poker with residents of the city. That and the old-school feel of the poker room are both worth stopping by the casino to check it all out. Then you can stay for the low-pressure poker, have some fun, and maybe bring home a few pots.
2 – Bally's
Bally's offers three ways for the low stakes player to get theirs kicks all in the same poker room. First, like Arizona Charlie's Casino, Bally's offers games that start with $1/$2 stakes and move up to the still quite reasonable $3/$6 games.
For those looking for a little more action, limit Texas hold ‘em cash games fire off all day, which is great for the multiple $60 no limit hold ‘em tournaments that happen all day.
What makes Bally's really great is the atmosphere. Bally's is a very player-friendly place to play poker. They may not pack in the glitz and glamor of some of the newer luxury casinos, but you won't miss the bling when you're enjoying a nice cocktail, some delicious food, and the crowd of folks who are there to have a good time playing cards. There's a reason why Bally's has been around, and the poker room is part of it.
3 – Flamingo Poker Room
Why wouldn't you want to gamble a lot of money at a hotel where pink is the answer to everything? This must have been the thought of the Flamingo Casino when they built and furnished it. Actually, all kidding aside, the unique design of the Flamingo Casino adds to its charm and helps ensure that the older, but still hopping casino continues to draw a crowd.
The poker room helps, too! The Flamingo is another great casino for Texas hold ‘em where one can come for the low limit games and stay for one of the numerous $60 no limit tournaments started throughout the day.
Those tournaments are where the Flamingo really shines. Attracting a crowd that wants to play, but not win at all costs, means that poker players of all skill levels can find their game. Plus, the small $60 buy-in allows players to feel good about staying to gamble.
4 – Golden Nugget
Some discerning poker players might never consider an older casino like the Golden Nugget just because it lacks the glamor of some of the new hotels. Other poker players might think Fremont Street is too far for poker when the Strip beckons with its neon lights. Juicy stakes poker download.
Rob's Vegas Poker Blog Games
Those poker players would be missing out on one of the most exciting places to play Texas hold ‘em in Vegas. Even better, the Golden Nugget offers a little something for the player who doesn't want to lose her entire wallet playing.
At the Golden Nugget, you have two options: limit or no-limit Texas hold ‘em. How to play teen patti.
- No-Limit hold ‘em is great if that's your thing. There's no cap and just a $100 minimum buy-in to get started.
- If No-Limits sounds like it might be a bit rich for your blood, the limit games have a mere $20 buy-in and $2/$4 stakes.
Add good food, cocktails, and great comps, and there's no reason not to play the Golden Nugget.
5 – MGM Grand Poker Room
Well, according to their website, the MGM Grand Poker Room is the 'No Limit Capital of Las Vegas.' While a few other rooms on this list might doubt that claim, what is certain is the MGM Grand as some stake to that claim.
It is a great place to play $1/$2 stakes no-limit poker, $2/$6 limit poker, participate in one of two $65 buy-in tournaments, or two $100 buy-in tournaments that run throughout the day.
Still, even if you come to the MGM Grand for the poker, you should stay for all the little perks like early morning massages, food, and drinks at the table, and lots of non-smoking places where you can play cards until you drop. All in all, the MGM really does do its best to earn its title of No Limit Capital.
6 – The Venetian
The Venetian poker room proves you can have the glitz and the low stakes poker all in one place. At the Venetian, you have two options: Texas hold ‘em or Omaha poker. Hold ‘em has $1/$3 stakes for the low stakes player and much higher stakes for those looking to play for more. Omaha's lowest stakes are $4/$8, making it one of the higher levels for the low stakes player.
What sets the Venetian apart from other casinos is the décor and the competition. The Venetian poker room is separate from the rest of the casino, enveloping players in all the little Italian touches made famous by a casino with an indoor set of canals.
Even better, the name of the Venetian alone attracts more skilled players. Although, that can be hit-or-miss. Fortunately, whether you are sitting next to a poker pro or a total newbie, the cocktails at the Venetian are free to poker players, and the food is brought to the table. All of this adds up to a very nice poker experience.
7 – Aria
When it comes to the low stakes player, the Aria offers fewer choices than some of the other casinos. Also, because of its reputation and prestige, it attracts a more hardcore type of player than you're likely to run across even at a place like the MGM Grand.
Still, just because the Aria doesn't have a lot of choices for the low stakes player does not mean that there aren't any. Aria has $1/$3 stakes tables and, for those who don't mind spending a little more money, a $125 no-limit Texas hold ‘em tournament.
There are a lot of folks who think that low stakes is an insult. They go as far to say that one will never play in a nice hotel without being willing to lose a lot of cash. The poker room at the Aria proves all of that is just nonsense.
This hotel is one of the nicest anywhere on the Strip, yet it is more than happy to do $1/$3 stakes while serving food and complimentary drinks all at the same.
This isn't to say that the other poker rooms aren't great places to go. Each casino has its own character and crowd.
Conclusion
The next time you head to Sin City with a wad of cash in your pocket, remember one thing: there are plenty of places for you to play even if you don't want to spend a lot of money. You can hit the Strip, hit Fremont Street, or find places a little less traveled. All of these places will welcome you, serve you a few drinks, and let you play the game of poker you love.
Sure, stories are told about playing the main table at a luxury casino. Nonetheless, bankrolls can be made (or at least preserved) playing a low stakes game in a poker room every bit as comfortable, welcoming, and fun as those other big fancy casinos.
