He's like EvenBob or Rob Singer. Nothing you can say will ever cause him to deviate from his anti-AP script.

My attitude toward APs and professional gambling has changed over the years. The only one I know anything about is Bob Dancer. All I know is what he has written about and said on the radio. I don't believe he is a typical AP. It's a stretch for me to believe he went from working a job to making a million dollars playing video poker without some financial advantage to back him up. Mr. Dancer is a very intelligent man. He created a video poker cash flow machine selling his software, books and services. I'm not sure all the players living off the casinos were happy about this? I respect him as a businessman and a gambling expert.
As far as Rob Singer is concerned, I think he brings up some valid points. I don't agree with everything he says. I don't know if he makes money playing video poker. Like Bob Dancer, I have never seen his tax returns. The one thing that is unclear to me is his strategy of moving up in variance and denomination to chase losses. I think the better path is to walk out a loser before you jump off a cliff.
It is very hard for a small time player like me to envision anyone making money by playing video poker. I don't see any advantage possible. I have watched the odds drop from 99% to 96%. Video poker machines are taken off the floor and replaced with slots. Video poker free play and comps have been reduced. Frankly, none of the games I play are worth anything except to kill time. If it wasn't for the free hotel stays, I would find something else to do with my leisure time. My wife and I enjoy staying overnight at casinos. We use these as cheap vacations and have we have figured out how to keep from over paying.
I can only assume successful APs must be doing things I can't imagine and leave it at that. I do not think it's a good idea to encourage people into addictive behavior under the pretense of making a profit. This is something that few people can make happen no matter how intelligent they are. APs and gambling book writers should make this as clear as possible.

I don't know anyone that is a successful casino AP that seems addicted to gambling. Some poker players on the other hand seem to have more vices.
I might be considered a part time AP and I am personally sick and tired of gambling.

Yeah I had an ex-girlfriend tell me I was addicted to gambling.
I pointed out this is how I made my money.
She claimed my going every day made me addicted.

So I guess people who work at Burger King are addicted because they go every day?

Not true. It's ungodly therefore it's a sin. Wasting money on frivolous things it's certainly a sin. Having excess money above and beyond what it takes to take care of you and your family is certainly a sin.
Of course, this is all assuming people believe in God and the teachings of the Bible.


The fact that we're even arguing about it should be proof enough that not even God could make it clear whether he approves of it or not... ;)

Now he's going to tell you how he doesn't have those in Florida and he can't play computer perfect.


Yeah, he has for years. The discussions always lead in a circle. The ridiculously hands-off moderator there finally got tired of it.

Not true. I was warned not to discuss Bob Dancer and I went over the line. How you can discuss video poker without mentioning his strategy is beyond me. 'Bob Dancer' is not a real person. The enterprise Bob Dancer uses Internet Forums to market products and services. That is smart business. The person behind the fictitious name has the same problem that our current President does, he doesn't handle disagreement well. When he is confronted with discussions he doesn't like, he says he is going on vacation and leaves the forum to 'punish' the transgressors.
He made two separate posts that I had serious disagreement with. One was the gambler son-in-law post and the other was when he stated Advantage Players are more intelligent than everyone else. Even if it's true, why say it? If it is true, why don't we fire all the doctors, college professors, scientists and world wide experts and just hire APs? I couldn't put up with it anymore and said he should apologize to the forum. Mr Dancer does not like contrarians, so I was banned.
Hopefully, this issue is behind us. I believe Mr. Dancer has said a lot of things over the years that he is sorry for, as have I. My only purpose for being on these forums is to converse with other players like me who play video poker to have fun. There should be no harm in discussing anything related to video poker on any forum. If your strategy involves raising your bet when a dog comes into the casino, I want you to be able to talk about it without being insulted. How else are we going to learn anything? Just so you know, my dog doesn't gamble.

Another issue is some people say I repeat myself. I do because no one is saying what needs to be said.
Experts are quick to tell players how to beat the casino. They say to only play when you have the advantage, play computer perfect and have a bankroll big enough to out last any downturn. So far, so good. The only thing they say about negative games is not to play them.
Here's the problem. Advantage games are very difficult to find these days, no one that I know of can play 100% computer perfect forever and hardly anyone has an unlimited bankroll. What does this mean? It means if you play overall negative games most people are going to pay to play. Why don't experts talk about playing the games most of us play? Do they want players to lose more? Are they afraid the casinos will be mad at them if they hear that from an expert?
Maybe that guy that sat down next to me last week playing $5 8/5 Double Double Bonus is a billionaire and could care less if he loses. You know what they say 'The best way to become a millionaire is to start with a billion dollars and work your way down.'

I'm usually one of the biggest skeptics aroind when it comes to stuff like that. And I really dislike the fact that Bob Dancer (or anyone) writes and teaches the public how to AP. However, I 100% believe he did make over a million dollars playing video poker. I and many others have witnessed Bob Dancer on some really good plays over the years while playing some of the same things at the same times. Some of those thing's were slam dunks. Count in all the other stuff he's had without much competition and you can bet your life he's made what he claims on advantage play. Even when you separate his books, classes, and GWAE and other side gigs.
AP's can usually spot BS when they hear or see it. I don't know any AP that actually knows that they are talking about that isn't confident Bob Dancer has crushed it.
