MIT Students - Breaking Vegas

[l33tranger]

I'm sure most of you have already heard about this, but it intrigued me.

First, I saw the movie 21, in which a group of people try to beat the system of Blackjack by card counting. (After you watch videos you will get it)

I was very curious about this and since I knew it was based on a true story looked it up. It is about MIT students who did this.

Anyway, Discovery Channel did a special on them which I really enjoyed. Here it is for anyone who is interested.

For anyone that didn't feel like watching them, card counting and other techniques do work, and are not illegal. Although, private casinos ban you for using these methods.

i remember when the discovery channel special also came out, (i watched it when it aired) also i watched History channels MIT exclusive where they interviewed members of the team. Haven't seen the movie yet but i hope its somewhat factual and not all hollywood. Anyway i personally hate casino's in general, its disgusting watching old women spend 7hours playing slot machines. It just drives me up the fucking wall.
