Fa La La La La.... La la la la's Luck

Post by oej719 »

I read Mr. Fa La La La La.... La la la la's columns every week and it is utterly amazing.
This man hits Quad's almost at will. And the Quad's are always
Aces, Two's, Three's, or Four's. Oh yes and usaully with the kicker.
He does all this in a 60-90 session.
Some guys have all the luck.

Keep in mind the old saying ... if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

On several occasions Fa La La La La.... La la la la has been asked to allow a neutral witness to observe him playing, to see if what he says he wins is what he actually wins. He refused this, saying that such a witness would distract him from being able to make all of the correct plays. Then later, he wrote a column telling about how his extended family members from back east came to Las Vegas to watch him play, following him around for a session or two. So, in fact, he was ok with someone watching him play then.
 
He claims he is not making any money from his books or his column (everything's free!) but obviously sales are good enough for him to continue pushing the image.
 
Thing of it is, I have actually used several parts of his published program to my advantage, mainly the part about making discipline the most important priority when you play for money.
 
(Fa La La La La.... La la la la or Dancer don't use their real names when they write their columns. I am going to create my own pen name, Bill Broadway.)

Both Fa La La La La.... La la la la's and Dancer's first names are forms of Robert (although Fa La La La La.... La la la la's real name is also Rob) so you may want to go with Robert, Robby, Bert, ... What goes with a Fa La La La La.... La la la la and a dancer? An actor? a musician?

perhaps the v.p. gurus can both sing and dance while they play their sessions in th casino. That way, we all can watch them intently for better or worse.-----cwa-------

I've tracked my own quads for some time, and currently have a database with several thousand of them.  Anything can happen in a given session, but over the long haul, here's what a single-line player will see:
 
Quads per hour: 2.  Hours with more quads are common, but so are hours with fewer quads.  In fact, 10% of anyone's quads will take an hour or more.  1% will take TWO hours or more.  Averages out to 2 per hour.
 
Bonus quads:  Quads with Aces and 2's, 3's, 4's make up 30% of the total.  Of that 30%, about 25% will have a kicker.
 
I've never read any of Fa La La La La.... La la la la's columns, but if his average session is 90 minutes, then over the course of a year an average session of his would look like:
 
3 quads, one of which will be a bonus one, with a kicker every 4 sessions.
That would be with single line play.

I was on his web site recently and I think he now has a video as well.

Keep in mind that these men, and others, are ultimately marketers and the value of their products lies in the winning. Why would any of them ever tell you their "system" loses?????
