Q&A with Adam Hensley
Gotta be winning $100 on a slot machine on my birthday at a casino in Omaha, Nebraska, years ago. It was so random, and I’m not much of a slot machine guy, but my wife convinced me to play.
Blackjack. Hands down.
“Rap Phenomenon” by the Notorious B.I.G, Redman, and Methodman.
I wish every game of the NFL season had the same attention and prop bets as the Super Bowl. I want to deep dive into wild props.
I am a firm believer that when I play an electronic version of blackjack or roulette, I cash out once I start to hit a profit. Let’s say in this example, I put in $20, but I’m up $20, so I now have $40. I will immediately cash out that $40 ticket, put $20 into my wallet, and then put my original $20 back into the machine. It’s weird, but it’s almost like a mental reset for me, and I swear it works wonders. Sometimes.
