Don't waste your money. Patrick's main thesis is that you can't win unless you take money off the table (regress). Profound! He then fills his book with example after redundant example of how to do this. Beyond that, much of what he states is just plain wrong. For example, he argues that conceding the house a small vig on more likely numbers (i.e., place betting the 6 or 8) is better than getting true odds on other less likely (roll-out) numbers. No wonder he writes a lot of books .. he needs to make up for his gambling losses!
