It's nice to see an actual RS article copied to this message board
because, like his Christmas message here (goodwill to all), it shows
how two-faced he is. We see the real Argentino, and the public sees
the manipulating Singer.
Here's how the article should read ...

Might as well start the year off right, with my first Undeniable

the sake of sales....and, I tell the TRUTH.
But I am shamelessly promoting myself and will lie to do so.
Refreshing, isn't it.
Like a bowel movement 
Then if you have the stomach, compare it to another monotonous,
repitious meaningless article by Elliot Fromm. At least he didn't
bore us this week with another pitch to buy his stupid pamphlets or
strategy cards, etc., but I see the nonsense coming.....
I hate Elliot because he has credibility and the message of his
column completely contradicts mine. How come Keno Lil doesn't get a
counterpoint writer? Bitch.
Seven Years Of Good Luck

Seven Years of Lies
As we all celebrate the arrival of 2008, many of us will also take
the time to look back at the year that just ended and try to find
the
good that came out of it for us as individuals.
Most people can easily find the good, but for me it's a struggle. If
I can't find it, I'll just pretend I did.
For some that can be
scary and yes, I've been there.
Thank God for booze.
But for others, such a review is
good reason to look upon the coming year with revitalized hope and
anticipation, and that is where I am now.
After this stinking year, things can only get better.
As a professional gambler, the outlook for the next year is
generally
based on how much confidence one can take with them as they cross
over the Dec. 31st border. After all, winning money is the most
important thing in this profession or is it?
Most people need money to gamble and win, but all I need is
confidence to lie and pretend I'm a winner.
I'm sure there's all types of opinions out there, but today I'm
going
to share mine. Certainly, taking money from the casinos ranks high
on
my list, and I've done it consistently well without all the
associated fluff that others like to feed us.
Actually high on my list is taking money and other benefits from
players ... and I'm pretty good at it if I can get a face-to-face.
PLEASE contact me!
But as complicated as
my video poker play strategies seem to be to many, I've made it an
absolute necessity to simplify the overall process of playing to
win.
I know this makes absolutely no sense, but it sounds good, so I'll
just leave it in.
One of my major goals each year has always been to spend as little
time as possible playing the game in order to reach my goals. Why?
#1 I don't have the money and #2 my goal is to get whatever I can
from the losers who seek my help.
Well, it's obviously not that I don't like casinos. They're
entertaining, spectacular, exciting, and very provocative. And
while
they do promote basic unhealthy habits for those who choose to
visit
them often or on a near-daily basis, I look at them as a means to
an
end above all else.
Casino drinking really accelerated by losing back in the old days and
it continues to hurt me today in other ways. My "end" is conning and
manipulating players for fun and profit. Note the word "fun". Those
who know the real me from message boards know I take particular
delight in abusing and hurting anyone who gets in my way.
> There was also a time in my playing life when I didn't know any
better, and I spent every moment home from overseas travel inside
casinos in Laughlin and Las Vegas from 1990-1996.
Ehh ... the "home from overseas" bit is a stretch, but it downplays
the severity of my gambling addiction and makes me sound worldly and
important, so it stays.
As an advantage
player, I just knew the more I played the sooner I would attain
what
the writers of the game said they did.
Actually I was a typical loser. I didn't have the patience,
discipline, knowledge, or bankroll to play VP for fun and profit.
Naturally the more I played, the more I lost. It was much easier to
blame the writers than blame myself.
That myth never materialized, and in fact I lost nearly $50,000 in
my
final year as an "optimal player".
My play was optimal to lose even more and only heavy borrowing kept
me in action until then.
1996 was further jinxed because I
also got involved in a large financial snafu having nothing to do
with the game.
When I finally got cornered by creditors, I filed for bankruptcy.
But when the New Year struck on Jan. 1, 1997 the tides
were beginning to change.
For most of 1997, 1998 & 1999 I played my own developed strategy
whenever I was home, and for a change I found myself on the
positive
side of the ledger each year.
As a salesman, I got pretty good at reading and manipulating people,
and after studying up on known gambling cons, it was pretty simple to
apply that knowledge and set up a con to hustle VP players ... and
hide income. Even more for ME!
All my other administrative troubles
were far behind me now,
Well, I still owed at least $40K that was not forgiven, but I quickly
put that far behind me. Suckers!
so after having saved up the proper gambling
bankroll and having secured my financial future, I decided to quit
Corporate America to become a full-time video poker player.
The public opinion was that I was fired for offenses related to
gambling, but as recently "projected," I was actually "put out to
pasture" and retired early.
As life-changing choices go, I couldn't have done better. Playing
video poker for "a living" has shown a very health profit each and
every year since. It's not that I'm making obscene and gigantic
killings every year just reasonable wins based on reasonable win
goals, totally unrelated to greed.
My con went pretty good for awhile, but Dancer, Scott etc. educated
thousands of players on how to play properly and that just about
wiped me out. Thank God, I can still write a newspaper column to get
my message out. Even so, the "loser" market is drying up. Damn them
all to hell!
But the winning's not the main plus gleaned from my decision to
leave
my job for the opportunity to gamble. There's actually several
other
much more important aspects of making such a change. First and
foremost there's my family.
I'm a sociopath, so my personal life is pretty much a shambles, and
my drinking just makes matters worse. But "family" is a buzzword
that resonates with the masses, so I've got to mention it.
While I am in nearby Nevada on a regular
basis, I am home FAR more often now than I ever was during my
working
career. Stand-alone, that is priceless in worth.
I've got no choice. I'm low on money ... and my con is losing steam.
An unexpected successful aspect of my efforts in video poker has
been
my ability to get my common sense based words out to the video
poker
community. I'm all about helping other players become less
frustrated
with the game and hopefully winning gamblers and I've invested a
lot of time and money in making that come true.
I've been banned or restricted everywhere because I'm an obvious
sociopath with a message that common sense can overcome math. No
surprise that I'm only fooling the biggest losers nowadays.
I used to try to charm the mainstream players, but Dick and his
cronies have made such a fool of me that I've just given up and let
everyone see the real me. This column is the only thing that keeps
me going and if clueless GT ever figures out I'm just a con man, that
will be the end. Christ, I may have to get a job.
One way I do that is via my website. Another is through my books.
But
the most effective method I've had in helping other players realize
their mistakes and how they've been misled by what's out there is
through this column.
Amen ... I need to get the word out to more marks. Unfortunately,
the web site draws no traffic, my books have never sold, and everyone
ridicules my column. Gotta keep my confidence ... gotta keep my
confidence.
Today marks my 7th straight year writing the Undeniable Truth
column
for Gaming Today. It has allowed many players across the country to
get a side of the story rarely seen prior to 2001, and it has meant
many acquaintances, tons of meaningful correspondence, and even
some
close friends hopefully for life.
What little correspondence I get is negative. And because I'm only
in friendships to take advantage, I don't have any close or lasting
friendships. Who needs 'em anyway!
It has, in short, been 7 years of very good luck. That type of good
fortune is seldom seen in the gambling world, yet if many people
took
the time to look at their overall picture instead of just at their
gambling results, they could be there too.
As I said before, you don't need gambling results, all you need is
confidence. And not having a conscience really helps too, so there's
none of that confidence-losing guilt, empathy, shame, and all those
other loser emotions.
Good luck to everyone in
2008!
Good luck to ME in 2008! The hell with you!
