Huh?

He may post here and we don't even know it.

Roberto is one of the all time greatest characters you'll ever meet. And he hosted the best offshore sportsbook party in Miami. Would love to know where he's at/what he's up to.

Fishy, you're making me hungry...

First it was "Ronald" Macdonald, now it's Roberto's: name of a mexici food dive group here in Dan Siego...

Heck, maybe this is where Roberto is at now.

Last I heard he was in the UK.

I think more went wrong than he was hoping for and the best solution was to leave the country and look for a career position in Europe.

Wow, you really don't know where or what he is doing?

I thought you two were tight as two pigs in slop.

He gave me my first modding gig over at TOW. I hope everything is well with him.

He blamed SBR for a lot of his website failures and took things personally. Kind of too bad what happened. He could have been good but he surrounded himself with guys who were slippery and not very smart. When things went bad he started pointing fingers this way.

If he was a "good guy" I would hate to see a bad one.

First he touts six new books as safe on his TOW website, putting them under his umbrella as "the rookie project". He used whatever good will his name had to promote deposits into these books.

All six went under with player's funds in short order.

Then he followed this up with arranging a bailout for Rich Coast Sports with CRIS. The list turned out to be "seeded" with phoney account balances, one of which we caught as it was in RPM's name. Showed he had won 3K in the casino at RCS. He never played in the casino at RCS. Doubtlessly there were others.

There were other events as well. This is a strange industry for forgive and forget. A few smiles, buy a few drinks, all is right in the world again. Gambling and fantasy work together well.....

Yes, his success rate was pitiful, to say the least.

Great guy to hang out with though, liked to booze it up.

Peep · 03-25-10, 09:26 PM

Yeah, he was fun to party with Fish, will agree with that.

Spent four days with him in CR, I had a good time. Good guy to hang with, maybe not so good to do business with.

The guy cracked me up, really a comic fellow.

BAUS · 03-25-10, 10:05 PM

Roberto is a great guy and I wish he would come back as a regular poster on the forums. His bash in Miami was a great time. And he also arranged for a bailout for me that helped me out a ton.

Would love to hang out with him more.

Sdotbold · 11-10-11, 04:10 PM
