Substack-only Audio: Sander Lylloff on Chance, Bluffing, and taking advantage of the Chaos

Sander Lylloff is one of the world’s most famous professional gamblers.

Back in August in Monaco, I had the great honour of interviewing Sander about gambling, life, politics, Putin, NATO, bitcoin, and a range of other topics.
