AUTHOR

Patterson, Jerry L., Nielsen, Eric B.

SUMMARY

Jerry Patterson has a B.A. from Willamette University (1956) and an M.S. from George Washington University (1968). Before becoming a blackjack player, gambling author, and instructor, he spent twenty-five years in the computer systems and services field. Jerry Patterson has been playing casino blackjack since 1956. He entered the gaming field full-time in 1978 when the Atlantic City casinos opened. He played professional blackjack in the 1980s and managed several blackjack teams during that period. He is the author of five gambling books, all published by The Berkley Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Putnam Inc. Founded in 1978, his gaming company, Jerry Patterson Enterprises, Inc. (JPE) aka Jerry Patterson's Blackjack Clinic, is the oldest and most successful in the gambling instruction and services field. Through this company and via his former syndicated casino gaming column published in newspapers and magazines internationally, Patterson has taught millions of gamblers the rudiments and the fine points of how to win at blackjack, craps, and roulette. Patterson has been involved in researching and developing winning gambling systems since the early 1960s. An example of a notable accomplishment in the blackjack arena is the first Shuffle-tracking method. The initial version was published in 1985 in his book Break the Dealer. A final version was published in 1990 in his book Blackjack: A Winner's Handbook. Patterson's research and development activities in casino blackjack started in 1963 when he was working with two of the developers of the original Basic Strategy-Will Cantey and Herb Maisel. With their help, he designed and implemented the first blackjack computer simulation model. His attention turned to casino roulette and then to casino craps in the 1990s. Much of that work is documented in his book Casino Gambling.Patterson, Jerry L. is the author of 'Blackjack A Winners Handbook' with ISBN 9780399526831 and ISBN 0399526838.
