Most of us have either read Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions or seen 21, the movie version of the book. It's the tale of a bunch of MIT nerds who crushed Vegas by counting cards and playing team blackjack. But how can you pull the same thing off by yourself? This guy has cracked the code, and it's all about what happens in the casino before you sit down to play. I find this stuff really fascinating. And it doesn't all come down to math. Like most situations in life, the whole thing works better when there's a porn star on your arm. Check it out:

It's actually an old story, since I recall reading an article about it a while back. Absolutely fascinating case of someone clever exploiting genuine, honest-to-god "edge" by "picking the dealer off". To be fair, the "dealers" in this case were desperate to the point of being a little silly and it's unlikely to be a repeated game. Still, it's damn impressive.
The thing that puzzled me though, why would the CEO of flappin MGM told people that on average they'll lose on average 20% of their money when they gamble? I mean, isn't that how MGM make money?
Can't see the video at work but is it about Don Johnson? Great article here http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/04/the-man-who-broke-atlantic-city/308900/
Another interesting story is whether you think Phil Ivey cheated or took advantage of his surroundings: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2420796/I-read-cards-Im-cheat-U-S-poker-ace-suing-Britains-oldest-casino-denied-8million-win-admits-using-controversial-edge-sorting-technique.html
Kinda like when I was playing $5 blackjack at the Tropicana in 2007 and a hooker at the table breaks out a tube of lotion and asks if anyone wants a handjob
My kinda gal

How has no one mentioned the smokeshow doing the interview?
Gambling is a very risky game of work but like they say the higher the risk the bigger the pay.
It was on television about 10 years ago, when a homeless man walked into a casino with $1.00 and parlayed it up to $100,000.00(took him about three days to win). But it's like lottery, you can only win with luck...I like online casino and I usually prefer Mr.Bet . It's really interesting and risky to play in such games, they bring people a rather special typer of emotions that's why I think so many people become addict to them but personally I always know my limits.
