Thought you guys could all use a laugh.

What a scam.

Learn the "system" in 2 hours. Ploppies should line up for this fleecing.

The claim to win 78% of all sessions is quite plausible if it is a negative session. Too bad he doesn't mention that you will lose a ton in the 22% of losing sessions.

You don't need to learn how to count to make money, you just need to buy a casino and try not to be too harsh on the counters but by all means let the two hour system users in.

"Casinos will fight each other just to get your action."

I couldn't resist seeing whether they had a clue. At least the BS chart they send out is accurate, although it is for multi-deck DAS games and doesn't specify this. From the chapter titles, it seems like this is a book promoting some type of progression, but at least it doesn't seem to be as bad as some of the crap out there.

He actually has two books ... basic & advanced.
Bottom line ... he is a John Patrick fan and his
"system" is based on Patrick's regression progression.
2 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6, etc. You get the picture!

I've done several radio interviews on the same stations that previously had George promote his book. He's a nice guy and we've chatted on the phone, but obviously he's giving poor advice. Yet the public eats it up and he outsells my book (THE COUNTER) about 10 to 1 for the same shows. It is like diet and exercise books--no one wants to hear you have to eat less and work out more. The same goes for BJ. People want an easy way to get rich and counting is too much work for most people so they are quick to believe in system sellers who promoise great results.

Sounds like how you teach a Lipizzaner ballerina to dance :)

But you've got to give this guy credit for being a great promoter... his 28 page book (?) sells for about $19.00 and his Amazon numbers are strong. I also see his book everywhere, but refuse to pay that much!

Your book was a novel and not a system, you'd be giong for a slightly different audience. On one end there are people who enjoy reading and respect a good story who may be interested in gambling a bit. On the other there are the greedy and uneducated who would love to stick it to the man by getting rich quick, they'll even play the lottery to do it. Have you ever lied to get a copy of your book sold? Well that other guy is misrepresenting the content that he is offering which is down and out wrong. So your sales aren't as good as his, does that really matter in the grand scheme of things? I mean you probably sleep more soundly at night, writing a book for the entertainment of all instead of scamming people out of money. I know I'd feel better about myself if I wasn't cheating people.

Not only is he getting peoples money but he's getting people to give money to the casinos. Hopefully he mentions to avoid CSMs and 6:5 tables in his books, that would be of some help wouldn't it.

Too bad the "system" is a scam.

Ah, yes, the public loves a "get rich quick scheme" that takes no effort or skill.

My novel is obviously for a different market. As for George being a shyster, he strikes me as a person who sincerely believes his betting systems will work, but is clearly wrong.

If he really believes what he's doing works then it's a little less bad. Still bad for ploppies but it's better than knowingly decieving people when you know you are lying to someone. I guess blackjack is like a religion in some ways, there are bunches of different branches, the general message is the same and everyone goes about it differently. Some may be right and some may be wrong and the long run may never exhist.

Though BJ can be backed up by math so there's a plus.
