For my UK friends, I'm told that I'm going to on a show titled "The Science of Chance," to be broadcast this Thursday 18th October at 9pm on BBC Four in the UK. I would be interested to hear all about it after the show.

Wow, I am impressed. You are referenced as a "Las Vegas Gambling Legend".

At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Isn't that his name on the copyright at the bottom right of this site?

I watched this the other night. It represented the Wizard as a "professional gambler" and stated that he was "barred from nearly every casino in town" because of his ability to turn a 1% advantage on blackjack.
It was pretty much a pop science programme that didnt delve deep. A decent entertaining watch.

That would be an overstatement.

Hah, but you can put the direct quote when citing your testimonials as it's true that someone said this about you. "he is the greatest... etc."
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.
