oej799(?) is someone I taught in LV how to play a while back who I imagine thinks I don't know him, but he didn't have the bankroll, the aptitude to play the game correctly, nor the discipline so he lost just about everything.
 
That Eduardo guy is just a poker shark waiting to eat me alive.

 
OEJ!  Eduardo!  You're famous!
 
Someday maybe he'll mention me, but for now you two are the top dogs.  Congratulations!

It's articles like the one above that give away the farm for Rob. If there was ever a perfect example of paranoia Rob did it here. He even tried to make quarter players look like scum when I suspect many of his readers are quarter players themselves. I doubt that article did anything to improve his image. He just keeps digging a deeper hole ...

I quite agree.  He's really disingenous, saying that he was kicked off the site for "tough talk".  Implies that he got the heave-ho simply for unorthodox views, when it was really for the chronic foul language and insults.  That qualifies as tough talk, right?  He actually got quite a bit of leeway there.  A Joe Blow would have been kicked out after the first day or two.
 
The first time or two I saw statements like that on his site I checked them out and became familiar with this "Fa La La La La.... La la la la spin".  I'm referring to some of his challenges. I don't even bother checking anymore, I just fill in the blanks myself.
 
I still hope to be fortunate enough some day to get written up by him.

Yep I think he is pretty much washed up. Maybe he will do better with his so called NFL picks. I really feel sorry for him with his condition and all and now being stuck with all those unsold books. If he is a military vet maybe the VA will keep him off the streets and get him some help. Do they help gambling addictions?

He should just give up and not waste his time with columns anymore. Just take whatever he last left and play 5cent poker with his special plays and build that bankroll up to pay the rent.

I think paying the rent is his wife's job.

Hi folks:
My name is Tom and I live in Nevada, but I sell software and travel between Reno/Las V/Laughlin/Flagstaff/Phoenix/Tucson for my job. NO I'M NOT MR. Fa La La La La.... La la la la and your webmaster/site administrator can confirm that.  I am, however, a Fa La La La La.... La la la la convert for the past 3 years, having won an avg. of $35000 per year playing his single play method beginning at dollars but not going to $100.  I was trained by Rob at Casino Arizona in Scottsdale Arizona several years ago and have kept in touch with him ever since.
 
I see a bundle of misinformation and assumptions on here. About 2 months ago Rob suggested I view this site to see the entertainment thrown his way and I just got around to it.  First, that e-newsletter he just sent out that I also received was not an article, and it was totally changed before posted here yesterday by oej719.  Manipulation of the message created multiple corrupt assumptions to go along with what I've seen to be numerous errors about the guy. I've read about as much as I've had time for on this forum before joining to post this. By the way, his birthday is not in August because we celebrated it a few months ago when he was at my home in Carson City.  I don't know the year but the date was clearly made up by oeji9.
 
I'm not 100% sure why it's popular to believe anyone who agrees with him has to be him other than paranoia, but so be it. The Chevette vs. corvette part? Suffice it to say he came to my home with the new 427 at my request on his way back from San francisco since i bought my wife a standard 06 vette last year. I got to drive the thing on our way over to Lake Tahoe, a wild orange colored beast, and now i see why everyone here is somewhat envious.
 
I'm not sure who here knows him and who doesn't, but if anyone does then they sure can't get it right.  To begin he's in great shape for his age, far better than my fat ass, and he's even in better shape than my 31 year old son.  He's also the nicest person associated with vp that I've met, he's helpful, he's never asked to put his card in the machine while I played my money and he advised, and the 3 times I've visited him and his family in the Phoenix, Arizona area he's always paid for dinner out. 
 
I think you all make up your hatred of him here. He is nasty at times when talking about how most people look at vp and he's usually right, but I've been a member of Fezziksplace/LVA Sports for nearly 18 months and I've never seen him use vulgarity. I don't know if he's used it here before getting the boot but I'll bet he hasn't.  Insults yes, but that's him. He is totally unlike that in person, and the only reason I can think that oej917 speaks lowly of his is because what he put in his newsletter about oej917 not having enough bankroll and losing whatever he had left due to no discipline or whatever.  You're screwing the wrong pooch.
 
You all ought to try Fa La La La La.... La la la la's method. I have 2 royals in 3 years and I still win. I'm in a hurry right now but i'll be glad to discuss the way I use the strategy to my advantage in a week or so and how it can help you turn your play around without all the negativity towards him.  I don't know what he was like when he posted here and I don't care.  But from what I've read no one here really knows him. 
 
Regards, Tom

Yawn.
 
If you aren't Fa La La La La.... La la la la, that's fine. If you've won, that's fine also. Many people who play without any system whatsoever are lucky enough to win for awhile. However, to claim a mathematically incorrect method of play will make people winners is ludicrous. 
 
By the way, it's oej719. Interesting that you would get this wrong just like Rob did. Also, check out harpo777's first post and note the similarities.
