|
Gambling authorities might raise a brow on the idea incepted by the American filmmaker, Gordon Forbes to make a documentary on a bunch of notorious university students, who in the 90s outplayed Las Vegas by smartly utilizing the card counting strategy.
The technique, based on mathematical calculation, successfully applied in the game of blackjack was initially devised back in the early 60s, by a professor at the Massachusetts Technology Institute. This practice allowed to foreseen the odds for either house or player’s winning hand.
This blackjack legacy was not discarded, but well preserved by a gang of students in the early 1990s, who’ve swooped the Vegas giants, thrashing most of them by playing blackjack. The team enjoyed millions of dollars befalling their way and though $8 millions might not be a whole lot for the Vegas, one day they’ve found themselves ousted from nearly all the casinos.
Forbes maintained that the documentary offers a glimpse on the frivolous life style of a team of talented 21 year olds. Surrounded by free–market capitalism, they’ve staked $20,000 without an eye blink, purchasing top class tuxedos, as well as smiles, girls and what not.
