POWER BLACKJACK (heard of it?)

I found this post on 'Lets Talk Winning' message board. I was wondering if any of you here could comment of Roger L Ford's book Power Blackjack?

Thanks,

Jimmy

Hi all,
I can't believe I am writing this. It is very unusual, to say the least,
I have read POWER BLACKJACK, By Roger Ford. It is published thru Silverthorne. I have gotten almost all of his systems. ALL of them were meritless and down-right dangerous, due to the wicked negative progression, in EVERY system he markets.
Power Blackjack is an incredible system. If you combine it with U.C.P., it is utterly lethal. Silverthorne's business practices are literally awful. It is next to impossible to get that refund, that he touts thru each and every system he markets.
Power Blackjack is the real deal folks. I have won 18 out of 20 sessions,
It is nice to have another game to play besides craps. Power Blackjack encompasses many of the tactics that wil enable a CONSERVATIVE PLAYER to clean the casinos clock. And NO, I am not going to stop playing craps, because it out yields the blackjack system by a large margin.

Wishing all a happy holiday season,
John

It's progression garbage and other bull. There's even a book on "Secrets of Playing Winning Keno" -- no, I'm not joking. See for yourself, link below.

Silverthorne regularly publishes scam systems that are nothing more than reworked progressions or warmed-over superstitions. They always provide plenty of hype in their advertising about how "powerful" their systems are, with purported "testimonials" to back up their specious claims. While I have no knowledge of "Power Blackjack," I have seen other "Power" systems. They are a souped-up Martingale, usually consisting of four steps. At each step, you double your previous bet and add one more unit for a so-called "super Martingale." For example, start with one unit. Lose the bet, go to three units. Lose that bet, go to seven units, lose that bet, go to fifteen units. Lose that bet, and the series is over and you start again. It is still progressionist nonsense.

The only reason I say "probably a scam" is the fact that Silverthorne did publish a decent set of strategies for video poker a few years ago, if you tossed out the progression nonsense included in the book that advised starting out at the one-unit bet and progressing upwards from there. I think the good strategies in the book slipped through somehow.

The best rule of thumb: If it's Silverthorne, don't waste your money.

Is your book out yet, I haven't been checking the boards in a while.

I am now working on the edited copy from the publisher.
