I caught his radio show recently and heard that he admitted to calling his source at the revel and advising them it could be a disastrous promotion for them . I now feel he single handidly caused the high denomination machines to be removed

Sadly, he is not even one full step removed from a casino employee or shill. People used to complain that writers like Patrick were shilling. But that hasn't seemed to crop up in the latest salvos.

I Just want to know who's side he is on. New players think hes on their side because hes encouraging casinos to add some 9/6 OR 10/7 db VP. Good VP alone will not make you any money. If someone is out here telling casinos not to run particular promotions, pointing out mistakes, telling them not to add any $1 full pay deuces or Full Pay $1 jokers then that's terrible. How can people support someone that is stabbing them in the back while telling them it's a back massage?
He gets the best of both worlds but we get the worst? I'm sure tons of people feed him information on good plays. What dose he do with that information? Explain to the casino its a bad proposition for them, in hopes of doing some consulting?

He said it, I heard it as well it almost sounded like a slip up while explaining something, then munchkin said WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? it got swept under the rug after that.
THE EV was more like 40k per player for that went to play it. Over 15 people showed up just to play the $25 machine more would have came and played it if the $25 VP machine stayed around.
I still don't know how they got Specific names.

David Sklansky is guilty of the same thing. They play both ends against the middle. They sell information to the public on how to beat the casinos, and consult the casinos on how not to get beat by the public. In the Revel case, I think Bob threw them a freebie because he's looking to do business with them in the future.

So Dancer being in league with the casinos is supposed to be the shocking news?
He has been running his VP classes for the South Point for ages, so basically he is working for them. Did anybody really believe these classes have any other purpose than bringing in suckers? Those poor bastards lose their money on the VP machines under the false impression of being an AP.
Admitting it on his show is kinda interesting though, but the guy has never seemed too bright to me...

I recently made reference to a scene in a movie where a plate of asparagus is being passed around and one guest slices off all the tips for himself and passes around the remaining stalks.
Bob Dancer is the guy who sells classes in How to Take All The Tips For Yourself, telling people its fun, its easy and the restaurant won't object. In reality, the restaurants usually give such patrons the bum's rush.
So is it any surprise that Dancer works for the Farmer's Asparagus Association and gets his palms greased every step of the way by everyone else? All the classes, advertisements, radio shows, ... he is like a munitions salesman during a war. Makes money from every side and lies to everyone so as to cause as much friction as possible.

That's very clear indeed. His 'special plays' are some of the weirdest thought up ideas... there is no consistency in the plays at all. It's also clear 95% of his 'ideas' are to try and stick one on Dancer for some reason.

We only have Bob's word for it that he did make a call, and an assumption that his word was enough for the Revel to make changes.
Never imagined it would be Mr Shackleford. Just not his style.

It's not working with the Revel that is most important, it's the lack of disclosure of the relationship in two public forums that matters most. Bob talked about the promotion a few days before it started on the radio show, discussing the promotion but not disclosing his relationship with the casino. People presumably made plans to go to Revel based on his advice that wouldn't have gone if he told them everything he knew at the time. In addition, he wrote an article supporting the promotion even after word leaked out of the bannings. That article also didn't disclose a relationship. Again, people probably went to the casino on bob's word that everything was ok, not understanding he had a financial interest. In my opinion, the first step needs to be remove someone from a radio show when he lied to his audience and lost their trust.

Financial Interest? Has that been confirmed? And the radio show is his own podcast. Not gonna happen if he removes himself from his own show...

How did Bob Dancer hurt fellow players?
Dancer told a Revel employee that the high denomination vp machines are a vulnerability to Revel during the promotion. This mathematical fact was openly discussed on wizardofvegas.com, a website available to the public, a website that many industry professionals read. This mathematical fact was not a secret. And yet everyone is convinced that Dancer leaked top secret classified information. No one has offered any proof that Revel employees weren't already aware of this vulnerability. No one has offered any proof that Revel employees were not reading the threads on this website. No one has offered any proof that Bob Dancer influenced Revel's promotion in any way shape or form. No one has offered any proof that the employee Dancer was speaking with had any authority to determine the fate of this promotion. Just hearsay and finger-pointing.
Revel's promotion was poorly planned, poorly executed, and totally botched from start to finish. Apparently it's all Bob Dancer's fault. Or maybe it's the Wizard's fault. Who will we gang up on next?

No. Dancer should be castigated for telling the king that goose lays golden eggs, even if other people already knew it was a special goose, but not blamed for the golden goose being slaughtered.

But when you call a casino During or right before a good promotion , explaining who you are and how much money this promotion is going to cost your casino. meanwhile encouraging everyone to go play the promo and that everything seems fine.

He attempted to tell the casino it was a bad idea to have $25 denominations and how much they may lose. WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?
I believe BD was even attempting to make side bets that the promotion would not change significantly. If he gave his listeners information that he warned the casino about the $25 machines prior to the start of the promo it may have saved a lot of people time and money.

Which was more bothersome: that machines were being removed, or that players' cards were being confiscated?
From an objective math standpoint, this promotion was obviously an EV positive bet. But it's a judgement call to measure Revel's habit of screwing things up. Revel had such a lousy reputation among players long before this promotion was announced.
