Since January I’ve been writing about how well I’ve been doing at the machines this year – my best year ever actually as I currently stand at +$114,700 in straight profit from the machines alone – and of course I’ve also written about the masses who write me and say all they’ve done is lose at the same time. So what’s the cause of these reversals of fortunes, and what part does luck really play in it all?

Regardless of the reason, whenever I write about my winning the usual array of jealous critics take issue – obviously because they haven’t found any success at the game at all. But is it their fault they can’t experience the good luck that I have? In a word, yes. You see, some people just shouldn’t be playing the game for real money, they KNOW they shouldn’t be playing the game for real money – yet they do – and for a variety of reasons, which for many is a very nasty addiction that they’ll deny to their graves.

But how do I know that I SHOULD be playing the game? Well, making a six-figure profit on average each year is one, but the fact that I simply win and acknowledge it is only through good luck that I do is the driver here. The problem for others remains, how is it that I’m able to have such good luck while nearly every other player isn’t?

Recently, I sent out an e-newsletter trying to explain my thoughts on that, because the number of e-mails complaining about losing just keeps getting more massive. Machines are programmed not by nature, but by humans, and every truly non-random event is beset by multiple patterns. When I’m playing my strategies these patterns really do not affect the outcome, because once goals are attained that’s it. Seeking out more is solely for the greedy, and we all know the usual result of that.

But in recent months, because I won my yearly goal at such an early date in 2008 – and because so many players were writing me questioning my winning while they were losing seemingly at record pace – I’ve been going around Nevada searching for answers. When I found that these machines do in fact react to the patterns that are inherent to all of them, I discovered yet another way to beat them. Not really on a consistent basis mind you, because searching them out can get truly expensive. But locating the right patterns on the right machines (i.e., looking for the patterns on lower denominations, and if the higher denominations on the game and on the same machine have the exact same pay table, switching up several levels until a big winner hits) you can add another playing advantage that the so-called “advantage players” could never take the blinders off long enough to see.

My latest e-newsletter explained this, and I used a term someone threw out at me as the title “Machine Whisperer”. Is it true….is my mind actually more in-tune with machine algorithms because I don’t simply expect the machine to act as if a live dealer were dealing and efficiently shuffling a deck of cards on every new hand, than anyone else would care to know? After all, there’s GOT to be a reason I have found this success – while so many of the big names out there have constantly cried foul yet have NEVER accepted a challenge with me of any kind where I could prove I win! And even now, where I’ve published a challenge multiple times that I’d play a session in front of them and anyone else they care to have around, and I’d pay them 2:1 if I lost...the big mouths and their math fans silently hope no one sees them tip-toeing away from it all.

But at the end of the day, do the critics mean anything if they won’t take me on after claiming I’m a fake? How hard is that….. One thing is for certain though. I drive cars that get what most people would consider to be lousy gas mileage, I drive waaay more than the average person who has to commute 35 miles to work each way every day, I go on annual motor trips to Oregon, 3 or 4 to Lake Tahoe, and across country (this year it’s Nova Scotia throughout Sept.). So do I care if I get 10 mpg or if gas is $9 a gallon? Why should I when the casinos are paying for every drop? But guess why all the math geeks who play video poker & criticize me constantly out of envy and who need to live on strict budgets because of their problem gambling, are finding this gasoline issue wreaking havoc with their finances!

On a final note today is my relationship with Gaming Today. I just stopped writing for them after 7-1/2 straight years of doing so, and a lot of people – including the paper – are unhappy about that. But how long can a person write for one gaming outlet...how many different articles can come out after such a long time? For all of my nearly 400 articles, I never accepted one penny of payment even though it was offered to me early on. Why should I have? I make my money at the machines just like I say I do and I write about. Unlike the famous named gurus who came before me and were fired after short stints for writing their long-term strategy crap, I didn’t need the pay to keep gambling money in my pockets.

My articles will continue to appear here on my site, although not one every week. They’ll have a slightly different flavor because there’ll be no editing out of some of my more controversial messages. And since I was Gaming Today’s most popular writer of all time, the gurus, famous names and math nuts will be looking forward to the Undeniable Truth as often as possible, you can rest assured.
