Gambling With an Edge - guest blackjack player Vecnan - a podcast by Bob Dancer & Richard Munchkin

Our guest this week is a blackjack player, and team leader called Vecnan.  Vecnan first came to my attention when I heard he had recruited blackjack teammates off Craig's List.  I thought he sounded completely insane, and had to get him on the show.
