Apr. 21.15. NPYB meets “Vegas Dave”
Today, we had the chance to interview professional sports bettor Dave Oancea or “Vegas Dave” to his many fans and followers in Las Vegas, around the country, and on social media.

Surely, his insights and 15 years of hard-earned experience in the sports betting arena will make for great additions to our documentary.
