Favorite Gambling Movie
“Ocean’s 11,” not so much for the gambling, but more because of the heists, action, and storyline.
Coolest places you’ve ever gambled
Las Vegas, of course, hopping between various casinos.
What drew you to writing about betting?
It’s something that comes naturally to me, and AI has been decimating most other niches.
Your personal favorite betting/gaming site
Bet365, because it’s legit and has everything.
