Born May 16, 1944, he is known professionally as "America's Mad Genius," "Gambling's Mad Genius," or "The Mad Genius of Poker." He teaches that in order to overcome any odds against you, your decisions must really matter. Therefore, games like craps, roulette and keno - where there's no logical reason to favor one decision over another - cannot be beaten. Poker, sports handicapping, and blackjack can be.
