Manage episode 505525202 series 3492403
Colin interviews legendary MIT Blackjack Team pro Mike Aponte about joining the team, rebuilding it after the failed “Strategic Investments” era, and how ruthless training, selective recruiting, and disciplined team play turned a $300k bank into multimillion-dollar wins. Aponte details his checkout gauntlet, cover tactics, and why intangibles (calm under pressure, “firing the bets”) matter more than math alone. Mike also teases Housebreakers, his feature documentary exploring advantage play across casinos, poker, sports analytics, and finance.
