Our guest this week is known simply as K.C., and was one of the most fascinating guests we have had. K.C. started as a professional blackjack player, and when he started getting barred he turned to craps. He read Wong on Dice and decided that this was the game for him. He won $1.5 million dollars at craps before the dice started to turn. After losing almost all of that money back he now thinks that he never had an edge. Yet many casinos barred him from playing dice! We also talked about a documentary film he has been working on about his blackjack adventures. That film is now out, and is titled, Inside The Edge.
