About this episode
Our guests this week are: colin Jones, Darryl Purpose, and Byrnin Down The House. For our last episode about Blackjack we wanted to have a blackjack roundtable. We talk about how blackjack has changed over the last 45 years, and how Byrnin is still able to play 100 hours per month just counting cards. We welcome your questions - send them to us at gamblingwithanedge@gmail.com, or you can find me at @RWM21 on Twitter or https://www.facebook.com/GamblingWithAnEdge .
