Beating the Slot Machines and Bill Stone

Drop the music; I'm going to talk seriously for a moment.

I've been getting a lot of feedback recently. A number of emails I'm getting ask about the Bill Stone e-books I bought. Many of the readers ask me whether I recommend these books.

Let me unequivocally say I do not recommend these books. The purpose of this blog is not to shill for Bill Stone. It isn't to shill for John Patrick.

The purpose of this blog is to put slot systems to the test. It is to put the advice of self-proclaimed slot machine experts to the test.

Now, I have a strong suspicion that these guys are nothing but con men. And I'm willing to put a little of my money on the line to prove it.

The sessions are real. The money wagered is real. That's one of the reasons I've slowed down on my slots playing; I've dropped hundreds of dollars playing these guys' slot systems.

If figure I win either way. If I make money, then I'm richer for it. If I lose money, then I come on here and share my experiences with fellow slot machine players. Maybe somone else can learn from my gaming follies.

So please, no one think I'm advocating running out and buying books from anyone.

Take the latest email I got from Bill Stone. The title of the email was "Chuck, could you win the Lotto?"

The email is an advertisement for Stone's latest book of gambling insight, Winning Lotto Strategies. He claims it will "...profoundly impact and change my life".

My stated goal is to make a fortune and retire to Antigua, so this sounded good. Though I was a little leery, I decided to read on.

The email continued with, "If you are going to play the lotto, you might as well win."

He had me there. I really couldn't argue with that logic at all. I'm not one of those people who plays the lottery hoping to lose, you see.

For others like me, I'll summarize the promises Bill Stone made to me about the lottery.

The book purports to be a guide on how to:

1. Win the lotto without spending a lot of money every week.

2. Create or borrow your own winning lotto strategy

3. Pick the right lottery numbers.

That's crazy.

The numbers are drawn randomly. There is no strategy to picking the right lottery numbers.

The lottery is a bad investment. It has a huge "house edge". A few people win the lottery and it changes their life. The vast majority lose their money.

Here's a good rule: Don't take advice from experts who tell you how to beat the lottery.

Call that Chuck Flick's Lotto Strategy Rule #1.

Bill Stone is selling you hope. I would not suggest sending him your money. You might as well send your money to a televangelist.

At least that might buy you peace of mind.

Comments:
This is nothing but a scam to earn money off of working people. He does not honor his guarantee. I am still fighting with the credit card company. He will not keep my money.
 
I would love to know how this showdown worked out. If I were a betting man--and I am--I would probably put money on Bill and your credit card company.
