Title: A waste of time
Product review: John Patrick's gambling strategy espouses a risk averse philosophy that does little to help the player in the long run. For example, he advocates placing the any craps bet to hedge the pass line wager. Any "gambling expert" can tell you that hedging does not work. Furthermore, the house edge on the any craps bet is over 11%!Another problem with his book is the "big four". First of all, money management "systems" have no effect on the long term winnings of the player. No matter what "system" the player uses, his/her winnings will fall on a curve dictated by the expectation of the game being played. According to Patrick, however, they are a cardinal rule to gambling success. Lastly, trends can only be seen in hindsight. If you are interested in learning craps, buy another book.
