He will demonstrate the perfectly legal strategies he used, and will reveal first-hand stories of the double life he held as a normal college student during the week and a high-stakes gambler on the weekend, the cat and mouse game he played with casinos, the aliases and disguises he used to camouflage his play and the incredible lengths the casinos would go to in order to track him down and throw him out.
