Some guy named Brian has put up a Web site asking for sympathetic Web surfers to send him money for a much-needed Vegas vacation. You can check out this bizarre scheme at SendBrianToVegas.com.
Brad would do it for good luck. Follow the leader and listen to the Queen, lets make Brian an money making machine.

Subject: [FREEvpFREE] Re: The basics
I started this new thread (the basics), in an attempt to get away
from the flaming and unprovable assertions of the previous thread. I
intentionally did not mention advantage play. I could see two
possible results:
1) Rob would make a reasonable attempt to discuss the basics of VP
play.
2) Rob would attempt to turn this back into the previous thread with
more unproveable assertions and character denigration.
It's pretty clear the path Rob has chosen.
This also pretty much proves Rob has no interest in an intelligent
discussion of VP basics. Why would this be? This only logical reason
is he knows it will disclose his own techniques are flawed..
Therefore, I will provide some more evidence that's Rob's methods are
flawed and that even his own statements contradict one another.
1) RS states he wins on a regular basis without using advantage play
techniques.
2) RS states that no one can win in the long term even when the
payback of the game is greater than 100%.
Assume 1000's of people use the RS method and therefore win on a
regular basis. This group of people would certainly play millions of
hands, enough hands to qualify for the "long term". This group would
also win money. However, this contradicts 2), Rob has asserted many
times that no one can win in the "long term". Therefore, the original
premise must be flawed. The original premise in this case is that if
you use RS's method you will win on a regular basis..
Need more evidence. Since Rob asserts you can win even playing
negative games (I think he mentioned 6-5 bonus poker), this group of
RS followers could even be playing at an advantage on negative
payback games. Once again, since the group is playing enough hands to
qualify statistically for the long term, they are essentially turning
a negative game into a positive game. This is impossible.
Now, Rob will come along with his usual replies. Calling standard
mathematics hocus-pocus (or nonsense as he states below); stating how
he's proved his methods work because he says so (and he's a famous VP
writer); and, of course, everyone who disagrees with him is addicted
to gambling.
Dick
PS. Unless Rob at least attempts to say something intelligent in his
next reply, this will be my last post in this thread.

Rob, actually I'm not really a math guy at all. I pretty much never
think about it. I know just a enough about statistics and simple high
school math to know the truth when I see it. Nothing more is required
to see through your scams.

Been to a casino once in the last 10 days. Not exactly wasting my
life away is it. If anything both of us are wasting our lives away in
front of a computer.

Don't think so, your statement was attempting to indicate if someone
dies then how can they ever reach long term. However, I'm simply
trying to get agreement on the basics of VP. Your attempt to change
the subject was obvious.

The slide rule mocking is about as childish as it gets. Of course,
you must not have realized it makes you look like someone who's never

Nothing here new to the world. I certainly didn't come up with basic
math. Probably someone in 15th century. Looks like your spotters out
of whack.

Rob, once again states math is nonsense. Let's get back to flat earth
concept of yours again ...
