9 thoughts on “Gambling With an Edge – blackjack player, Socrates

  1. Make people learn on there own. No need to create more competition… example– never draw a map to a gold mine..

  2. Most gamblers should lose for a few years until they can figure out how to win. That way they will also appreciate it more and also find it is quite boring..

  3. Don’t think Richard totally bought into how certain aspects of his stories added up.

  4. What's a good casino game to play professionally for a new gambler? It has to be a money earner ☺️

  5. Where d,id they drag this bloke from. I find him totally unreliable & don't buy his story. e.g. Canadian hustler golfer didn't win much coz I won 9 outa 10. REALLY? And you still lost?
