 Focused, direct and professional John Patrick is!! October 9, 2005

John Patrick is an excellent forth right author and professional gambler, who cautions the timid though lustful wanna-be gambler. Whether the person chooses to play slots or any of the table games, John Patrick lays the foundation - a solid one - that anyone can follow. You must be disciplined, know what your bankroll is, and above all comprehend what he is teaching regarding gambling. His advice is universal, if heeded, meaning how much are you willing to loose? as everyone wants to win. John Patrick's gambling strategies are guidelines, which if the student follows them will eventually recognize game trends. The caveate being, one must know when to stop rather succomb to becoming the 90 percent of all those who visit any casino. As my son taught me, if gambling was all about winning, it wouldn't be called gambling!

Now that I've commented on his outrageous writing style, let me say that his money management rules are solid gold. From the breaking of play into sessions through "Naked Pulls" to win goals and loss limits, Patrick's advise is right on the money. My only criticism is that following his system to the letter tends to take the fun out of slots-it's too complicated, too much to remember while playing. But there is much that we can learn from Patrick's book. It's one of the best out there for slot gamblers.

No offense, but are the other reviewers really serious? John Patrick's Slots is one of the worst books on gambling I've ever read. Not only is there no scientific or mathematical basis for any of his lame, crackpot advice, but his writing style is awful too. Unless you're the type of person who thinks that the name "Don B. Leeve" is a really clever play on words. If you're that type of person, you might think it's pretty funny.
If you want to read a pretty funny account of a slot player's attempts to understand and then use all of John Patrick's silly slot systems, do a Google search for "Chuck Flick" or even "John Patrick Slots". I think his blog where he relates his experiences comes up pretty high in the results. Chuck manages to discount the pseudoscience and baloney offered in John Patrick's book while still being funny and entertaining.
By the way, slots are powered by a random number generator. The random number generator is programmed to pay out a certain percentage of the money played into it over time. The house always has an advantage, and that's why casinos are profitable. No betting system changes the math of the house edge, and while you might win in the short term using one of these silly betting methods, it isn't because of the method; it's because of something called short term statistical deviation.
