#28- Gambling Addict

Summary: We had an absolutely great conversation with former Blackjack Dealer/Gambling Addict (and current comedian) Mark Poolos.  Gabe and Mark are joined by comedian and degenerate gambler Steve Gillespie (conan, under our covers) for what Tevin declared a “top 5 episode”.  Mark starts by adding to the blackjack dealer conversation with some really interesting stuff about dealers being tagged as “dumpers” or winners, Pit boss sabotaging hot streaks, how to get free stuff, and George Carlin’s affect on casino winnings.  The conversation then turns to the story of Mark’s gambling addiction and all the highs, lows, and fallout associated.   Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, or ProfessionConfession.com for pictures of Bee (and more). ***please SHARE, RATE, & SUBSCRIBE Subscribe to our new YOUTUBE channel for episode highlights, video clips, bonus content, and stand up from Gabe and cohosts.
