Fa la la la la... la la la... la.?

Post by chattycattty »

I have been reading about some of the jackpots Fa la la la la... la la la... la., aka Rob Argentino has supposedly hit in just the last few weeks. Among his hits are $100,000 and $50,000 jackpots, both on single game $25 machines.

I am trying to look at his jackpots with an open mind and give him the benefit of the doubt. In the process of reading about his alleged jackpots on another forum, I found out that he was banned from this forum back in 2007.

Does anybody have an opinion of this guy one way or the other? He supposedly has a special system with special plays. Skeptically, I am leaning towards not believing anything he has to say.

Chatty Catty, read up on a martingale system and you will understand what rs speaks of. No rhyme or reason. Just another personal belief in how to beat the machines. Win/loss and stop/loss systems work to an extent but not in the long run. You are wise to be skeptical.

Chattycatty:

In fact, you-know-who has hit multiple huge jackpots, some of the size to almost put large casinos out of business. He hit most of these with his eyes closed and one of the biggest jackpots he ever hit was accomplished while he was actually sleeping. Oh wait....maybe most of his big jackpots were hit while he was sleeping. Dreaming, ya know? Ask for the photographic evidence. Most players snap a shot of $100K and $50K jackpots. You-know-who, however, never seems to have any evidence whatsoever, other than his sacred word. Just as he has no evidence whatsoever, other than his sacred word, that his wonderful special play system works.

Thank you Tedlark, EDC, and Rascal for your responses. I can see why he was banned here in 2007 and do not see why the website where he is currently posting puts up with him. In addition to being arrogant, rude, crass, vulgar, ****phobic, a racist, and egotistic he is apparently a pathological liar when it comes to the jackpots he is claiming.

If I was fortunate enough to hit a $50,000 or $100,000 jackpot I would make sure to have a picture of myself in it. And any decent human being would not try to use their alleged good fortune to taunt and inflict emotional pain on other VP players as he does. Most of the people at the other forum where he is posting think he photoshopped the pictures of his alleged jackpots and I am inclined to agree with them.

Hitting a $100,000 jackpot on a $25 machine is equivalent to hitting a $1,000 jackpot on a quarter machine. So what. Many of us have hit a quarter royal and have eventually given it back and then some. The question is what did he walk away with or better yet his results over an extended period playing at that denomination.

EXACTLY, OTABILL.  So what if he hit a RF on a $25 game.  As if he is the first one to ever do it.  A $50K Jackpot would likely be 4 Aces with Kicker on a Double Double Bonus Game.  It's all relative.

OTA and COLTON thank you for your responses. I agree with you that it is not any harder to hit a royal on a $25 machine versus a 25 cent machine. The difference is that this RS character according to himself anyway never loses.

He claims to have a special system with special plays whereby he goes into a casino and gets these huge wins with relatively limited playing time. Nobody does that. I don't care how lucky you are and I will admit luck plays a large part in how we all do at VP.

If you are interested in learning more about the character and exploits of this guy you can start by going to the Shadowman versus RS portion of this forum and do a google search. Caution: You might not like what you see.
