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.
