Here’s a quick recap for those who missed most of the action.
Cipher was the focus of our “Scammer of the Week” section over a year ago:
http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=2042
His system was systematically disproved by almost all active members of this board. Without a leg to stand on, he decided to revert to childish insults and personal attacks. We gave him the old “put up or shut up” ultimatum last March. Apparently he chose the later option (for almost a year in fact).
Since then he has become sort of a running joke in the blackjack community. His reputation is ranked with other system scammers like John Patrick and Bobby Singer. ZenGrifter seems convinced that he is the re-embodiment of Doug Grant. I’m leaning more towards Jerry Patterson (I mentioned the unfortunate similarities of their systems on the top of page 6 in the link above).
Apparently he’s back to promote his new software at $1,000 a pop. He obviously feels that he can make more money by selling it than by using it. His old software, for those who didn’t see it, is the equivalent of a $600 notebook where you can manually input and track your wins and losses. A more thrifty, but equally effective, approach would be to use a piece of paper and a pencil.
Hopefully we can keep this thread short and sweet since all arguments regarding his system have already been made and all facts have been well stated in previous threads.
