Henry Tamburin Revisited

[Rob McGarvey]

Here is a question from a Robert V. Lux Interview:

Q#11: There are many skilful, serious and knowledged authors on blackjack, though, there are also a bunch of authors, who make up their own systems and give a "mathematically erroneous view" on the game. I won't mention any names, as I presume you know which I refer to. What's your opinion on these authors, who fanatically spread an invalid rip off way of playing blackjack?

I expose fraudulent blackjack systems in my columns and articles when they come to my attention. I don't have a high opinion of authors of these systems. Unfortunately as long as unwary blackjack players purchase them, there will always be a market for them.

Please tell me about your new $700 Speed Count System........

Rob, What's Your Beef with Henry?

I'm just curious, do you guys have a history? Are you just busting his balls because of his possible voodoo system? Just for the record I said possible, since it has not been verified by any of the knowledgable BJ experts.

Re: Rob, What's Your Beef with Henry?

The only history we have is a discussion about whether or not Zen Grifter is a con or not, and an article of mine that he published in BJI. I would like Henry, who has posted here, to give us a breakdown on "IT" and hopefully have a meaningful discussion. He seems to be ducking the issue, which I find unusual for someone that says what he does in the above post, and by my communications with him in the past.

Ok, that's what I figured. I think we'd all like to know the story with his system.

Tamburin has (or should have)zero credibility with serious APs. The guy writes books and articles featuring optimal playing strategies for unbeatable games (e.g., slots, craps), and lots of other articles for ploppy magazines. See:
