Product Description
John Patrick explains the subtleties of baccarat to help turn players into winners. As in other table games, the baccarat player must adhere to an exacting discipline: players must have a sufficient bankroll to withstand a losing trend, must know how to manage money, and must have reliable knowledge of the game to win. Once players learn the secrets of baccarat, they may never play any other casino game.

 This book can help you stack chips May 15, 1999
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
Let's face it. Casinos are tough to beat. Yet every book makes it sound so easy. They go into some strategy, tell a few stories about episodes at the tables all while giving the reader false confidence that costs real money. These books rarely delve into the most grossly under-represented aspect of gambling: the loss. Not the case when it comes to books written by John Patrick. Patrick addresses losses for what they are: a sad reality. Truth is that losing and losing sessions are one half of the game. How will you handle that loss? The seasoned gambler knows that all of the table games are tough to beat. This tough player knows that the "secret" to winning is catching the streak. How does the veteran do this? How can you do it? Get this book and learn the fundamentals. The rest is up to you.

I found this book both informative and easy to understand. I have been very successful with his methods.
 Should be titled "How to Play and Win Less than you Lose" November 5, 1999

John Patrick continues his misleading statements and his misuse of the word Win. This book does not overcome basic mathematics and the player disadvantage built into the game. Save your money and don't buy it; better yet, save even more money and don't play Baccarat.

John explains the game but just goes on & on repeating himself about elements of his philosophy. He tell the same story in all his other tapes and books. Tell me something new.
Do Not Buy This One April 12, 2002

Not only is this book awful for it's smarmy tone, it also contains misinformation in certain areas. Get John May's book instead (ISBN: 0818406046).I am a borderline bibliophile, and in the rare cases when I get rid of books (usually because of duplicate copies), I donate them to the local library. This is the only book I have thrown away, because I did not want to be responsible for someone borrowing it from the library and taking it's information as true.
