Wow great Alr849. Why don't you elaborate and tell us about if you met argentino in Vegas. Did he show you all 1704 special plays? Did you use his slot card? Did you win? What denom's and progression did you play ex: single play, RTT , Advanced RTT? Oh the best thing is did he show you how to detect machines in a cold or hot cycle?
Thanks for your answers. Was wondering how long would be until oej found this discussion.

No, no and no, but I will tell you what keeps working for me !
 
It's more of a RTT type play. And again, I just go for a very moderate win of $100 each time I go to a casino. ( which I'm going alot lately ).
 
I start my play with 300 credits on DDB nickles ($15). Everytime I get just $2 ahead, I count this as a "soft profit" . So if I run that initial $15 up to $18, I will play it down to $3, cash out and put that in my pocket.
 
I keep on nickels until I run it down or make $100 ( hard to do on just nickels though )
 
If I run it down, no matter how many cash outs I've accumulated, I go to quarters. On qtrs. I start with 100 credits on BP. Here I try to win $5 each time. My goal is to win my $15 back and go back to nickels or keep the soft profits. If I blow thru the 100 credits I go to DDB and play 200 credits.   
 
If I go thru nickels and then quarters without winning $100, I go to dollars and play the 100 credits on BP and then 200 credits, with a $10 cashout this time. Again, cashing out all the plus $10 at the end.
 
I go thru the whole cycle three times if I have to. To win the $100 goal.
 
My goal is always to get back to the nickel level and start over. But the cashouts accumulate very nicely. So when you do hit something nice, it's easy to hit that $100 goal.
 
Now I know there will be a lot of bashing of this "Fa La La La La.... La la la la" style of play. But I just want to state a few things :
 
1. I win my $100,  80% of the time
 
2. I don't need Royals to win ( but they keep coming ! YES ! )
 
3. All you need are FOUR OF A KINDS !!! ( usually one will do ! )
 
4. My largest loss is $900, once. ( my daily loss limit )
 
5. My largest wins in the last year and a half : $3600 - Ballys', Las Vegas, $3200 Tunica, Miss.- $3400 Harrah's ,St.Louis.
 
6. You have to be willing to walk when you hit the $100 or better !!
 
7. RARELY DO I WIN JUST $100. My last four days have been + $321, + $255 , + $ 225 , + $124.
 
8. No matter what I hear from critics, the bottom line is : IT HAS WORKED FOR ME ! My bankroll grows and grows from the 'Fa La La La La.... La la la la" style of play.
 
9. I've never met Fa La La La La.... La la la la

Oooops, at the dollar level it's : 100 credits at BP and 200 credits at DDB.
Sorry about that , left off the DDB part !

About a year and a half ago, I switched to one of the "Fa La La La La.... La la la la" methods. (I know, I know, most of you hate him).

 
No one here hates Rob.  It's just not possible to have a civil discussion with him.  Resorting to bluff, bluster, and anger when questioned - instead of supporting his points with verifiable, serious answers - makes me question his methods.
 
Congratulations on your success so far.  Check in now and again and keep us posted.

Was wondering how long would be until oej found this discussion.

 
I'm with you, Eduardo - going through this thread, I *knew* I'd see OEJ sooner or later...hey, OEJ, in your list of questions you forgot to ask the poster if he sits at a bar like Rob and drink brews while doing all that stuff you asked about.

Or emulates Rob's writing(i.e: "I know, i know"). Onion soup, anyone?

Sure is funny that ALR are Argentino's initial's rearranged and 849 is his birthday. August 1949.
Coincidence or what. I don't think so.

OEJ, I had already caught the initials but I did not know about the birthday. In one of our discussions a long time ago Rob even lied about his age (he implied he was born in 1951). Like I could have cared either way.
 
Also, I wonder how you can play 3 rounds at the dollar level with 300 credits each time and yet have a max loss of $900? The nickel and quarter play must be free.

The term soft profit and winning 80% of the time are terms Rob uses all the time. Plus Rob has said that he would be visiting Harrahs all over this summer on the way to Tenn to see one of his students that has had great success playing Fa La La La La.... La la la la strategy. You can even correspond with this student, via Rob. All I can say is amazing truely amazing.
By his own admittance he is not allowed on any forums anymore and his book sales are down to almost zero. Those $5 and $10 machines have not been to kind to him lately. Sounds like his ship his sinking fast and he is becoming desperate. If he can stay alive a few more years at least he can draw social security.
One good thing if I was going to be homeless or poor I guess Arizona is a good place to be. Warm weather, fruit trees everywhere, and clean water and air. The basics of life all for free.

Hey, alr849! Where's Harpo?
 
I am positive you're not Rob, but regardless, why not sign in on the Beta games and show us once and for all that the system you're using really works? Or do we need to put up an impossible wager in advance before you will do so?
