Gambling With an Edge - Mail Bag 2/17/2022

No guest this week as we once again dip into the mail bag. We also discuss Vegas rescinding the mask mandate, Mattress Mac, and Bet MGM "claiming" you can now deposit with credit cards with no fees.

We welcome your questions - send them to us at gamblingwithanedge@gmail.com, or you can find me at @RWM21 on Twitter or https://www.facebook.com/GamblingWithAnEdge.
