Jerry Patterson’s Money-Making Opportunities Network. (Formerly called the Casino Gamblers Network) (Jerry Patterson) Voorhees, NJ. (Published quarterly since 1990?) – OUT OF PRINT
– Not recommended. Quarterly newsletter covering all aspects of gambling and risky money-making ideas.

Since then, he has abandoned traditional card counting instruction and has concentrated on marketing several controversial systems including TARGET, BIAS barometer and the NBJ method. He also teaches various craps methods, and a number of other gambling systems.

International Gambler’s Club Newsletter. (Lance Humble aka Igor Kusyszyn) Ontario, Canada. (Published quarterly 1974 – ????) – OUT OF PRINT
– Recommended with reservations. Quarterly newsletter in publication since 1974 when it was called the International Blackjack Club Newsletter. Lance Humble is the publisher of the Hi-Opt strategies. Although this publication is currently recommended players should be aware that much of the content of this publication (in recent years) has been a copy of Arnold Snyder’s and Stanford Wong’s material. Humble occasionally published an interesting reader’s letter and often promoted his harness racing strategies. Las Vegas Advisor (Formerly Las Vegas Advisor Recommendations). (Anthony Curtis) Huntington Press, Las Vegas, NV. (Published monthly since 1983 except 1984, 1985.)
– Excellent. Highly recommended for lower stakes players. Excellent “best deal” type reporting and jam-packed with current Las Vegas information. Curtis has even managed to coax some casinos to offer readers match-play and other free money coupons. Reports the best deals in Vegas from food, lodging, shows, transportation and gaming. Earlier issues included more blackjack information than it currently does but well worth the money for your next Las Vegas vacation. The Las Vegas Advisor has been reporting on, reviewing, and analyzing literally thousands of legitimate deals, opportunities, coupons, meals, shows, and promotions, as well as the come-ons and outright rip-offs dreamed up by two generations of Las Vegas hotel-casino operators. The newsletter has never accepted advertising.
