The Art of Advantage Play: Early Days in Gambling

In this special episode, Colin interviews Richard Munchkin — legendary advantage player, Blackjack Hall of Famer, and co-host of the Gambling with an Edge podcast. Richard shares incredible stories from his decades-long career, including how he put himself through college with backgammon and poker, broke into advantage play, mastered shuffle tracking and sequencing, and even smuggled casino winnings out of Poland. Beyond the exploits, Richard reflects on the real challenges of advantage play — from family sacrifices to the power of reputation and a strong network. This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the most respected names in advantage play.
