I have read a book by Singer and articles on his web page. He claims
a ninety percent win record and over half million in winnings.
Although his thinking is unconventional by mainstream standards and
there is a personality conflict among the "gurus" I see no reason to
dismiss his strategy.Aside from your personal feelings about the man..what problem do you
have with his method of play?
Ralph,
As suggested by Bill, and pursuant with vpFREE policy, I'm replying
here. I'm hoping the discussion here will be civil. Fequently an RS
discussion proves otherwise.
Let me start by saying that I take Singer's claims at face value. I
personally have no reason not to.
I'm not going to get into specifics of his strategy because I'm far
more concerned for the implications to the average player.
Rob's strategies include advancement of play denomination/volatility
in stepped levels, the goal being to ultimately score a hit that meets
his overall session profit goal.
This is an approach that can only be reasonably adopted by a VERY WELL
staked player. I believe Rob has stated he takes something like a
minimum of $10K to conduct his sessions.
As such, irrespective of merits, it's not a strategy that most players
(myself included) are bankrolled to follow. From that practical
standpoint alone, I don't overly concern myself with the conceptual
soundness of his approach.
I will own up to having one particular admiration for Rob. I believe
him to be extraordinarily disciplined in adhering to his strategy.
That's a critical success factor key for any player and were there
anything a player should come away with, that's the thing of greatest
practical value.
