Card counters should bankrupt casinos. They have an edge that means they’ll win more than they lose. But they don’t bankrupt casinos. And the reason why has more to do with behavioural science than mathematics. Today I chat with one of the world’s most popular card counters, Steven Bridges as we talk through how card counters use psychology to get an edge.

Tips for living a happier life (according to science)

In this episode, I discuss Derren Brown, Solomon Asch, the conformity bias, social loafing, my favourite reality TV show … and why most of us feel uncreative and unproductive at large organizations. 

Tune in to hear Professor Ayelet Fishbach and I share why groups can dampen our productivity, why dishonest leaders create dishonest teams, and how to convince a sane member of the public they’re flying through space while sitting in a room in Ipswich.

Can too much free time make you unhappy?

London black cab drivers memorise (almost) every road in the city. I wanted to know how.
Today, I interview one of London’s most well-known black cabbies, Tom the Taxi Driver. He explains how he memorised 25,000 roads in London sharing the memory tactics he used. We go into the science of memory, how taxi drivers literally have a bigger brain, and I attempt to memorise every capital in the world.
