Andrew on the “Life is a Gamble” podcast - and big news on postage
I was interviewed recently by Richard Munchkin on his podcast. Richard is a great host who asked all the right questions.
New shipping rates
Before we get to that, due to the high number of book sales, Australia Post have offered us a corporate contract. That means that postage rates have been cut by a third, making it way cheaper to ship to our overseas customers. As sales keep increasing, this rate will get better which means more savings for you. Huge thanks to those of you who have bought the book already. Your support has created this opportunity and you will be able to take advantage of these rates when Volume 2 is released.
Life is a Gamble
For me, it was an honor to be interviewed by Richard. He is an inductee into the Blackjack Hall of Fame, someone who knows or knew some of my friends in the Advantage Play scene, and the author of an extremely enjoyable and informative book of interviews with very successful professional gamblers, Gambling Wizards: Conversations with the World’s Greatest Gamblers. As I note in the interview, our two books are the polar opposites of the gambling world — “Gambling Wizards” on the legit side and “Thieving Bastards” on the dark side! I recommend you grab a copy.
I’ll be doing more podcasts soon but this will get your beak wet.
You can listen to it on Spotify, Youtube or on the Apple app.
