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. Energetic, gregarious, and passionate about sports, Dave belongs to an elite class of independent professional sports gamblers who have attained lucrative success in their field using their well-honed analytical skills, betting strategy, and business acumen. He is a man “on the move” seeking to carve out more winnings and grow his client business through his expansive social media connections.
What impressed us most during the interview was how well grounded and disciplined Dave is in his approach to sports gambling.

Surely, his insights and 15 years of hard-earned experience in the sports betting arena will make for great additions to our documentary.
You can learn more about Vegas Dave from his website and through social media.
