I was able to sit down recently with professional card counters, Spartan and levimich.
They have been members of the BJA community for a while, they proved their skills at a Bootcamp, and they have since become friends, even coming to help train others at our Blackjack Bootcamps.
In this Podcast we discuss:
- How each of them went from seeing a movie about card counting to becoming a full time card counter themselves.
- Their decision to team up, rather than keeping their bankrolls separate
- Their epic 8,000 mile blackjack road trip
- The value of networking
Listen below to find out what they have to share with the BJA community!
