Gambling With an Edge – guest blackjack player Vecnan

Learn Blackjack Video Source & Info:

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.

  1. this guy is a nut he expect me to keep truckin play for frree and not get paid if i have a 6month losing streak? and yes they do happen to everyone

  2. 18:13 Why is a 300. buy in obvious? What does Vecnan object to about that? Also, although I believe he can spot card counters, why doesn't he want to sit at the table with them? Couldn't that actually be good cover for him?

  3. This guy talks about longevity , then when a true 2 shows he yells " THERE IT IS " .
    That is what I call not smart !

  4. Really interesting conversation. Thanks for making such great blackjack content.

  5. If people were making real money card counting nobody would stop. It s not a realstic profession anymore. Gone are the days the legends like Munchkin speak of. Boy it mustve been awesome!

  6. I don't know if there are more than one casinos that won't tell you your comp balance but I do know that the Palace casino in Biloxi Mississippi is one
