Las Vegas GF Chat Room

Good luck, and you'll need it with these crazy 4th quarters this year.

I still see lots of mask wearers around this town. But our travel will never be dictated by covid or flu or any other virus. We haven't been hit yet and we've been very active since the start. Maybe Todd Bowles can give us some cutting edge advice. Or Roots Master, MrV.

 

Sorry Rob, but black men have proven to be more than able at QB, as they have at almost all the positions.

No, it's no "extra muscle," it's more that their limited opportunities sort of direct then to football.

Used to be all the QB's were white, and almost uniformly pocket passers: now most if not all of the younger black and white QB's are comfortable running the ball and playing well outside the pocket.

Hello, RPO.

Take Josh Allen for example: a real beast.

The game is evolving: too bad you aren't.

But hey, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

 

Not that is not interesting. but what does it have to do with Blackjack?

 

Naturally you dodged the facts in favor of theory. Two of the slowest white guys in NFL history who pass from the pocket, mysteriously won the last 2 SB's. All these black jackrabbit QB's can run around all they want. It's not championship football, and the majority of them get injured every season anyway. Josh Allen does it right. He's fast, but he's big and strong enuf to be a runner who can dish out punishment during tackle efforts rather than slide like a little black bitch.

Apparently you were perturbed by my Affirmative Action comments about the TB coaches. That's a common reaction from the woke area you choose to live in.

Black TV journalists and white apologists everywhere are all upset over the high ratio of white coaches and team execs to the black ones. And they're all full of it. You hire the best qualified man or woman for the job, and not some marginal black asshole just to fill a quota or to make big mouth racists like Stephen A. Smith happy.

You never see whites complaining that the league is mostly black players, even though whites in this country FAR outnumber the blacks--except in the NFL, NBA, and Prisons.

You see, blacks just happen to by and large be better athletes overall, who are built for very physical and violent sports. It's not only in their nature and upbringing either. The white man bred these people during slavery in order to get the best workers from the paired parents, so they would make the best slaves. It's abhorrent, but it's also history.

So when teams don't sign whites just to equal out the color ratios of players since the owners want the very best players, it's total bullshit for them to be shamed into hiring unqualified coaches like the Bucs are suffering with, just because of their skin color.

 

And Jimmy the Greek couldn't have said it better himself.

LOL. Of course, Jimmy got canned for saying it, even though -- from a strictly factual perspective -- he wasn't lying.

I'm going to give myself some kudos here for my consultant work for fantasy football aficionados. I had Allen pegged. Not because he was big and strong and had a cannon arm. But because he came back for his senior year at Wyoming for reasons that are beyond me. Wyoming wasn't exactly loaded with skill talent the previous year, but then they lost a killer wideout and their stud tailback, leaving them with almost nothing except one pretty good tight end. No wideouts. No tailbacks. No offensive line. Playing every game against teams better than them. I thought Allen was nuts and would be lucky to stay upright. Well, he did get dinged, but he played through most of it, and banging heads in December with better teams in Wyoming, Boise, and Colorado winters is not the recipe to look good.

When it was over, I thought he had balls of iron and would be unaffected by whatever situation he found himself in with the NFL, because whatever offensive line he was going to have in the NFL was going to give him more protection than what he just survived.

I do not know why he put himself through that, but it all worked out. He still tries to do too much on occasion, as he did that senior year (because, well, who else was going to get anything done?), but he has no problem carrying a team. He wasn't some Alabama QB barely breaking a sweat while tallying pinball numbers every week against inferior opponents.

 

It is true that most NFL players are black, I'll grant you that, but it is NOT because of eugenics.

C'mon man, you're smarter than that.

White men ran the slave trade for a bit over three hundred years; do you seriously believe that is enough time for nature to do its thing and allow a stronger, hearier human to evolve?

No, such evolutionary change takes much longer.

Again, blacks do well in NFL and NBA because so many TRY to do so, due to the perceived lack of other opportunities: not because they're genetically superior to white people.

People are people.

 

You two are treading in waters you know not much about. I'm no physical anthropologist, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

No, seriously, my late wife taught physical anthropology courses and so did/do my compadres here. Some of them also teach sociology, which treads where MrV is leaning explanation-wise. You two are declaring things best left more debated than declared.

Many things are possible in genetic evolution -- that long, slow unpunctuated pace is somewhat unfashionable these days when applied to specific situations. Many processes can occur fairly quickly --

Rob may be somewhat more correct than polite company would prefer. Nobody's going to come out and say anything close to what he's saying in a college course, but they are also going to have a hard time debunking it.

 

Comrade Dietz knows some Compadre in EVERY walk of life. Nobody is as cool as he is. He's the polar opposite of his buddy who he so staunchly defends the UNKOOL1.

 

I'm sorry you lead such a sheltered anonymous life, Ozzy. You should try being real for a few days. You might meet some people who do actual stuff or have real credentials.

I'll let you know next time I head to LV. You can tag along.

 

Josh Allen is very durable and tough, but he too will eventually get hurt. Even if he were black. After all, "people are people"

 

Let me give you a quick example of where human genetics and sports can intersect. Maybe 15 years ago, there was some biomechanical analysis of the optimal arc for shooting a basketball. It turns out that, according to the studies, a longer forearm contributes to more easily being able to launch a basketball at the optimal angle.

Well, what the article didn't go into is that black skin and equatorial physiology have evolved as designs to better deal with sun exposure and hotter temperatures. That means more surface area vis-a-vis mass than in colder temps (think as compared to Eskimo builds). That translates into an equatorial human of the same height as a polar human having longer limbs and therefore more surface area. Those longer limbs mean longer forearms compared to polar humans, even those polar humans of the same height. According to the biomechanics experts, that should lead to a better basketball shot for the equatorial folks.

People are people, but different environments lead to slightly different designs. Those different designs might have subtle but significant consequences.

 

Didn't someone, maybe Jimmy the Greek (whoever he was), claim black's have an extra bone in their feet and extra muscles and tendons in their thighs which allows them to run faster and jump higher, or some complete garbage like that? I am sure it was scientifically proven BS, but just goes to show what crap these people come up with.

 

KewlJ, what I commented on above is factually correct as far as I know. The forearm length does optimize arc for hoops shooting, And it was established decades ago that different environments result in different body designs. Eskimo bodies conserve heat and reduce caloric needs. Equatorial bodies cool more efficiently. High altitude populations have bigger lungs.

In fact, that whole "Blacks have bigger dicks" thing is kind of halfway true. I read a study maybe 40 years ago, back when it wasn't outrageous to question such things, where penis size was compared for people of different ethnicities. Blacks did have marginally (but significantly) longer penises when compared to whites of the same height. I think it was something between an eighth and a quarter of an inch. Never read a study comparing width, however.

Well, it's not the 1980's anymore, so nobody is going to suggest, much less fund, studies like that these days. But that doesn't mean differences don't exist just because we don't look for them.

 

Now we have kew claiming to know a thing or two about Jimmy the Greek.

Red, if we Italians (myself and DiRocco) wanted to cause some real trouble in LV in the early 2000's, you people would still be trying to figure out just how insignificant you really are.

Someone asked me via text, what I thought of Dan starting a thread about me on VCT today. After going over and reading his initial post, I can see why he has no children of his own, and why his "girlfriend" will never marry him. The fact that he appears financially stuck in California doesn't help. And oh, thanks! for saying I'm allowed to post wherever I like.

My belief is Dan can see his forum being of no value any more since I left, so he tried to rattle the cages in order to get member-interest moving forward. Only problem is, his post is filled with lies--which for all you sleuths out there, can easily be checked and verified by going back to the thread where I put up pictures of my $1.5mil VP jackpot.

His first lie is his claim that "he offered" to meet me in LV when I said I was there, for the purpose of going to the casino where I hit the winner and verify it with casino hi-limit room mgmt. He then claimed "Rob accepted".

Fact: when Dan posted he was in LV I immediately put up a post saying "here's how this jackpot disagreement can be resolved once and for all". I THEN PROPOSED DAN MEET ME AROUND 7PM AT THE PARTICULAR CASINO. DAN PANICKED, AS DID THE ENTIRE SQUAD. HE CAME UP WITH MULTIPLE CHICKEN SHIT CONDITIONS, WHICH I ACCEPTED. THE MOST INTRIGUING ONE WAS HE DIDN'T BELIEVE I WAS IN LV, AND HE REQUIRED I PROVIDE PROOF TO HIM THAT I WAS. SO I TEXTED HIM (I copied mickey so he wouldn't be misled by the coward) A CURRENT SHOT OF MY GVR ROOM TV WITH THE DATE, TIME, AND THE "WELCOME ROBERT ARGENTINO" SHOWING.

Aside from scaring the living shit out of Dan by putting him on the spot, his whole "I'm a location and VPN expert" bullshit went straight down the drain.

At this point he had no options--he HAD to meet me and verify. So what's he do? I told him at 1:07pm via text as well as some of it on the forum that I was with my wife and niece, and I needed to GET HIS OK BY 5PM (or else I would instead go out for dinner with my family) to meet at the casino around 7. He had FOUR WHOLE HOURS to send a simple YES to me, immediately after we traded a few other texts on my acceptance of him taking the lead with the questioning of the casino personnel.

This is when Dan proved he's all talk and no action; a true coward. He went dark...no confirming text was sent between 1pm and 5pm, as I told him I needed. At 7pm--after he already knew I was spending the night with family since he never responded--he texts me claiming he "FELL ASLEEP" and was all set to meet. What a POS.

Next, even after I debunked the claim that my jackpot was taken from some mysterious online site somehow because two cursors were showing since I had to snap a few shots of my computer screen in order to allow the files to fit the VCT image parameters, I did so by providing the actual photos my son took at the time of the hit in the casino, and Dan persists with the lie that the picture is from some online sight that nobody knows about. I think I sent the pics to mickey who posted them for me.

Either Dan lives his life as an outright liar, or his mind is so garbled up with his gambling addiction that he feels it's ok to rewrite history. I'm no internet forum loser rat like kew, where every word written drives the fool nuts because he thinks he's being perceived in a negative way. Dan should be ashamed. If this stuff were important he'd have a real problem.

 

For kew: you're someone who will spend the better part of a week searching past posts just to try and have the last word, usually by twisting and spinning other people's posts to death in the process just so it fits your agenda.

Here's an opportunity to be the good guy. I just posted about the lies Dan put in a new thread on VCT. I am guaranteeing that every word (except what's in our private texts) I countered his BS with is 100% verifiable in my jackpot thread. Now I know these truths will hurt all the nonsense lies you repeated about me in his thread (which you laughably had to do since the chance to do so was laid out on a silver platter by Dan). But wouldn't you like to JUST ONCE be recognized as a fair & balanced poster?

Go ahead--check out everything I wrote, then build up your brand. It's not word-for-word of course. But it's actual history and not that drunken? rant Druff threw out there.

 

Nice try Rob. Fact is I am a fair poster and a good guy. If you need proof, didn't I state several times that you have done well with your picks? If I hate you so much and have this agenda you claim, I would have just said nothing and hoped you crashed.

Now let's first talk about this decision to stop making picks. You claimed for 12 weeks now that you would pick 68% winners over 18 weeks picking 5 games a week. Despite that you have done well (current record 38-20-2), even you saw the writing on the wall. 68% of 90 picks which is 18 weeks at 5 a week is 61.2 wins out of 90 picks. Being that you have two ties 90-28-2 would get you to 68%. From your current record that means you would need to win 22 of the remaining 30 games, or go 4-1 every week, with 2 weeks at 3-2. I think even you realized what I have been saying all along. The math says no. Another 1-4 week, even 2-3 week would make it all but impossible, so you bailed, saying you have friends in town and didn't want to waste time anymore. As I always say, you always think you are fooling everyone, but you never are.

So let's move on to Dan Druff. You and I can agree on one thing, it was odd of him to start a thread about you. I doubt he reads this forum regularly, so my guess is someone alerted him that you have been talking him up, with lies for a few weeks now and he probably popped in to take a look. I am not going to dig up any posts or quote you, anyone can look for themselves, but one of the things you said, when you set up this whole fake jackpot weeks before it happened was that this was going to be your last har-rah on all forums. That you would no longer post anywhere. I am sure Druff was wondering why 5 months later, you are still posting, same old recycled Rob Singer crap, just at a different forum. And the answer clearly is you were thoroughly humiliated at VCT, so you stormed off and landed here, where the same old Singer BS continues.

Dan Druff was not in Vegas to meet you. He was there for other reasons, to play in the Poker tournament, if I am not mistaken. The morning you set up the meeting, his first response was that he was not available until after 7pm. He said he had been up all night and had to get some sleep. So what did you do? Sometime later you stated that he needed to contact you by 5pm.....knowing that he was asleep and wouldn't even see that request. Then at 5pm, you claim victory. Very, very typical Rob Singer and troll play.

Now I don't have any idea about any PM's between you and Druff. If you have something that contradicts what occurred on the public forum, you should post it...a screen shot of the PM. But you can't and won't. You just change the story and facts as if none of us were there, when we all witnessed it in no uncertain terms.

You do what you want Singer. Continue with your alternative version of what everyone witnessed if it is important to you, but you have to know and I am sure you do, that no one, is buying your BS anymore. I also think you should be a man and continue with your picks. Don't quit now, because it has become obvious you will fail because you didn't understand the daunting math before you spouted off.

 

Rob, just so you know, I have had some interactions in Las Vegas with folks who seriously outrank the late Chuck DiRocco. Some of those interactions weren't necessarily a lot of fun, but such is life. You gotta take risks sometimes, to earn a little respect.

Now you might say that very few operating in LV would seriously outrank Mr. DiRocco. You would be correct. As some say occasionally, for some rings, you always answer the phone, if you get my drift.

I know a little bit more than you might suspect. In fact, I might know a little bit more than you.

Just letting you know...out of respect.

 

I'm wondering if you've ever caught on to the fact that the majority of readers everywhere you post, are curious as to why you seem to always feel the need to constantly claim you either know some expert, or you rubbed elbows with a source familiar with the situation, or you have a friend/acquaintance/distant relative etc. who can vouch for what you say or who has blessed you with their knowledge ABOUT ALMOST EVERY SUBJECT THAT ARISES ON THE FORUMS! I think Ozzy just mentioned how strange it is.

You don't need to be THAT insecure. No wonder you support a serial liar like kew. And now this post about "knowing" more than me about the underpinnings of LV....who gives a shit?! Is your life so empty that your life is controlled by a single entity such as that?

You really are no different than kew. His entire twisted life is so overwhelmingly dependant upon forum perceptions and interactions that, whenever a more articulate, better heeled and far more experienced in real life personality such as myself comes along, you get so offended by it that you are forced into making up all these nuances and special/secret relationships you supposedly have. Where kew utilizes pathological lying as his security blanket, you choose egotism.

Yet, inasmuch as it's a very pathetic existence to be living the vast majority your world's you two so foolishly do within the walls of these online forums--I guess, for feelings of adequacy, self-importance, and relevance--it is EXTREMELY entertaining. And if you haven't noticed, I enjoy poking fun at both of you in such a true and mocking way.

 

You're a funny guy kew. You just can't figure out how easy it is for someone smarter than you to see how you're one of these people who sprinkles in some pandering while trying to make them think you're a "good guy". All the while, spotting your hate and envy is as easy as a loser white queer dating a loser black one.

There's no need for me to continue making NFL picks, even if I were still interested in watching football games. I quit at 65%, which obviously shows I'm better than what any of you would have liked me to be. It also kinda throws a damper on redietz' claim that I couldn't possibly have hit 68% over two NFL seasons. Now maybe you get why he lies about that so often and so vociferously. And you really are no luminary with simple math. Out of the remaining 30 games, I'd need to go 23-7 to attain 68% this season. DUH! I just accomplished that in the 6 weeks prior to my last 1-4 dud.

Watching you navigate the Dan post was like watching Blue Man Group trying to perform with dignity at a funeral service. You laid your first egg by skipping over Dan's lie about who proposed the meet-up to whom. And there's NO DOUBT you read it again.

Then you further made a fool out of yourself by ignoring discussion about Dan lying about me supposedly being in Az. when he had the proof I was at GVR. I suspect you felt so embarrassed for him at this point that you also didn't want to address his stupid "I'm a location and VPN expert" claim.

And, of course, there's your stuttering through his lie about why he failed to meet me, with you being his apologist that the poor baby needed to get some sleep, along with your cover-his-ass excuse that you're not privy to our couple of texts so they just can't be real.

This is your chance to show some of that fair and balanced/good guy claim. Dan's last text to me was at 1:06. At 1:07 I texted him to give me a Yes before 5pm or I couldn't do it. Would you not believe that something so important to him would not be concluded BEFORE he took his nap, especially since we were in the middle of settling his chickenshit conditions? How many times do people who are sending texts every few seconds to each other, does one person abruptly just stop without a final very simple answer being sent?

I don't keep texts and I wouldn't post them anyway because if it wasn't in-line with your agenda, you'd say I altered them. And you'll never ask him to post them because it's obvious he'd alter and lie about them too. I realize for you to accept that he--and also you as his weak apologist--have been lying would hurt your feminine soul more than someone like you could bear.

Just fess up kew....admit you skipped over all the damaging parts of your fantasy story. And BTW, if Dan wasn't so angry with me for leaving, and flustered with him knowing what a coward he looks like with all the lying he's done over this JUST TO KEEP HIS SILLY BRAND GLUED TOGETHER, he'd be a man and tell the truth. But he is not an honorable or even a good man. And neither are you. The proof is right here

 

As we enjoy mocking you Rob. It is funny, how when you do some trolling or mocking, you and mickey think it is the funniest things ever. But when we do it back to you (and there is a lot to mock about you), you don't seem to see the humor.

Funny you brought that up.

This is a guy who lied about owning a Newell and took a picture in one at the showroom.
This is a guy who has taken pictures of multiple fake jackpots, the latest from a computer in his daughter's house.
This is a guy who posted a generic downloaded bill of sale for a million dollar vehicle with no letterhead and all signatures in the same handwriting.
This is a guy who posted pictures of fake, "movie prop" type money purchased from amazon.
This is a guy who first posted that the double up play was illegal when it hit the news and later stole that very claim, saying "I did that before they did".

I could go on and on and on about your lies and dishonesty. And you have the gall to call me a liar, when I have lied about exactly one thing pertaining to my blackjack career and experienced, letting the forum think I had passed away after being robbed. I panicked and thought that would protect me. It was a lie, but it wasn't to deceive anyone for the purpose of building myself up to something I wasn't, for the sake of insecurity, like you do.
