Episode Details

Matthew Bowyer is back. He just got out of federal prison camp — and in Part 2 of his conversation with Ian Bick he's holding nothing back. Matthew opens up about what his nearly 6 months inside actually looked like — the stories nobody expected the prison politics the gambling economy behind bars and how he was labeled a snitch inside. Then the conversation shifts to what comes next. He owes nearly $10 million to the IRS with interest accruing at $60,000 every single month. He's been placed on Nevada's Black Book — banned from every casino in the state. He breaks down his biggest gambling swing ever how casino comps actually work the truth about counting cards why automatic shuffling tables hurt your odds and how to get a better edge at the casino. This is the most raw and revealing conversation Matthew has ever had.
