I'll reply to this one first since it is the shorter post and the quickest to reply to. To begin with, my post was not meant as an endorsement to either Patterson or his book. I merely stated that I had been reading the book, that it was interesting, and summarized the contents of what I had read so far. What I was hoping was that someone with more knowledge about it could provide some additional insight, and it appears that you have.

I think that what you said about JP was ery interesting. I have no idea how true it is, but I don't see why you would have any reason to make it up, so I will take you at your word on it. To be perfectly fair, JP did provide me with both his book and his Target 21 system for free (so I can't really say that he has ripped me off for anything). All I have to say about the book has already been said, and can't really comment further until I have finished it.

In reference to the target 21 system, I do tend to believe you on that. I have not read a word of it yet because I simply do not have the time, and it's so thick that it will take me years to go through it (LOL). It does look a little shady though. It is a huge binder made into a book of photocopied pages, and also a series of tapes. It looks like a get rich quick scheme that you would see advertised on a late night infomercial. But, again, I have not read it so I can't really say anything one way or another about it's contents. Thanks for your input.

JP was once a respected card counter who ran card counting schools following the opening of AC casinos. As his customer base dried up and most people weren't prepared to go through the hard work that counting entails, he started closing schools. In an attempt to make a quick buck, he started trumpeting Olsen's TARGET system, a useless get rich scheme which has absolutely no mathematical foundation and has since been abandoned as worthless by Olsen himself. The thing about Patterson is he's not just an idiot who thinks he found the perfect system, it is believed he knows TARGET is crap but still promotes it in true huckster fashion. One of blackjack's most respected authors, Don Schlesinger, use to run one of his counting schools. The simple mention of his name is enough to get Don's blood boiling.

If you expect anyone to take you seriously in any gambling discussion(particularly a bj one), do not EVER again mention this scamer's name.

Sincerely,
