Wind river casino reviews. Who can resist a movie with a tag line like “They proved Vegas was beatable…by beating the hell out of it”? “21” is a hot new fast-paced movie just out, about a group of MIT students who use their mathematical skills to take down the casinos and win it big. But did you know that this film is based on the real life story of Jeff Ma? Who would have thought that all that action and drama not to mention skill and theft actually happened! But this is Hollywood we are talking about, so of course, they changed the story just a tiny bit… you know, to commercialize it and create more drama and tension, in case the real story got too boring, if that’s possible.

[21] The movie presents Ma’s character as the student Ben Campbell, who is reluctant to be drawn into the world of cards, but in reality this was hardly the case. Ma was more than happy to join the private card playing club, simply for fun and not to get into Harvard as Ben does in the movie. Through the club he discovered his talent for counting the cards and winning it big. In fact this club, in reality, had a long history, dating back to 1979. Would you believe that across many of the bigger universities students studied card counting techniques and the ways to beat the casinos at Blackjack?! That sure beats your regular statistics and probability class!
The MIT Blackjack Team was a group of students and ex-students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and other leading colleges who used card counting techniques and more sophisticated strategies to beat casinos at blackjack worldwide. Blackjack should need no introduction. It is the most popular table game in the United States, and is easily found in casinos throughout the world. The object of the game of Blackjack is simply to get more points than the dealer without going over 21. Rules Hand Signals Wizard’s Simple Strategy Basic Strategy Blackjack FAQ. Mit Blackjack Group. This article is referenced from wikipedia’The MIT Blackjack Team was a group of students and ex-students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard Business School, Harvard University, and other leading colleges who utilized card-counting techniques and more sophisticated strategies to beat casinos at blackjack worldwide.
Based on the books by Ben Mezrich that cover the legendary MIT Blackjack Teams.- Bringing Down the House’Describes a collection of math whizzes from M.I.T. Everything started in 1979, when professional blackjack player Bill Kaplan was strolling through the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He found a flier that called for students to join the MIT Blackjack Club. The club was looking to capitalize on the new casinos in Atlantic City.
The group was between ten and twenty mathletes at MIT who spent their time perfecting their methods, which were completely legal, simply based on mathematical principles (could you doubt it?). They had special hand signals and key words, which they used between themselves as they played and with this, the killer team, all innocent looking, managed over a few years to win millions in casinos and it took the authorities years to catch on to their game! Of course the casino owners were not too happy with these big winnings, as you can imagine and this caused some problems for the gang.
Obviously at the end of the film, Hollywood has the hero giving back all of his winnings to get himself out of a sticky situation; but in real life, who would give back millions of dollars?? Jeff Ma and his team made millions which they divided between themselves and Ma himself personally made a million more – and did he give it back?? Of course not! Their money was won through skills that are technically speaking legal, based purely on math and the casinos had no legal base to sue the players. Now doesn’t that make you wish you had payed more attention back in high school and done your homework?
Nowadays Jeff Ma is a motivational speaker, here’s a clip from one of his speeches:

Attaining a near legendary status due to their unrelenting ingenuity and blatant audacity, the MIT Blackjack Team was born out of an Independent Activities Period class entitled “How to Gamble if You Must,” provided at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1970s. The mini-course taught students the concepts behind card counting.Dr. Edward O. Thorp Creates Team Blackjack Strategy
An initial formula for card counting was developed and tested by Dr. Edward O. Thorp, and is rooted in the advantage gained by the fact that the dealer does not shuffle the cards between hands. The method allows players to keep track of the average contents of the remaining deck as the game progresses, and know when the odds are in the player’s favor. His 1962 book, Beat the Dealer, outlined in detail the strategy that he used to turn a profit at the Blackjack table.MIT Blackjack Begins as After School Blackjack Club
Jungle monkey slot machine. The MIT Blackjack Team started out as an after-school club, where the students would get together for fun and test their skills and ideas playing card games. But in true MIT fashion, their ingenuity soon led to the development of underground casino models where the team set about the arduous task of refining their skills. Card counting alone wasn’t enough; the casinos were well aware of card counters by now, and had developed their own methods to throw the odds back in their favor; teaching the dealers to count cards, as well as shuffling the cards when a player placed an unexpected high bet.
Meeting with several difficulties, successes, and failures in their endeavor to score big in Atlantic City, many members left the group discouraged, or simply uninterested. Original MIT Blackjack Team member, J. P. Massar met MIT graduate Bill Kaplan in 1980. Kaplan had been involved with a separate blackjack team that had been quite successful in Las Vegas – so successful in fact that the team had split up to seek their own gambling fortunes abroad. Massar and Kaplan agreed to work together, and Kaplan studied the remaining MIT Blackjack Team members in action to give his analysis and offer advice.
Kaplan’s first impression was not encouraging; the team was not unified in their approach to beating the game, and spent more time arguing about their theories than playing Blackjack. But Kaplan did see great potential, and agreed to offer his support on the condition that the operation be run under the standards and guidelines of a professional business; implementing time sheets, as well as documentation of strategy used, and total earnings. A prevailing card counting system was chosen, and formal training and testing was required before members could achieve ‘professional’ status on the team.
In the mid 1980s the MIT Blackjack Team began playing the casinos with Kaplan’s financial backing of around ninety thousand dollars, and was pulling in an average of about $170 per hour in winnings. The team continued to grow and win, but soon the casinos caught on. When they saw Bill Kaplan, they would immediately begin the search for his team, so Kaplan stepped aside and turned management of the team over to Massar.
Over the next few years the team began falling apart; due mostly to waning interest, exhaustion, and the casino environment. By 1989 the MIT Blackjack Team had completely dissolved until 1992, when the establishment of Native American run Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut breathed new life into the operation.Blackjack Club Mit Poker
Bill Kaplan, J.P. Craps table betting odds. Massar and co-manager – and team member since 1982 – John Chang formed a Massachusetts Limited Partnership called Strategic Investments to bankroll a new team of players. The MIT Blackjack Team quickly grew to nearly 80 players. Playing casinos in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Canada, and Native American casinos across the nation, the team had reached an unprecedented height. It didn’t take long for the Casinos to obtain photographs from MIT yearbooks to identify and ban the MIT Blackjack Team. The team once more disbanded in 1993, bringing about the official end of the MIT Blackjack Team.“21” Blackjack Movies Based on the MIT Blackjack TeamBlackjack Club Mit Game
The 2008 movie, 21, was inspired by the best-selling book Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich; a novel loosely based on actual events surrounding the MIT Blackjack Team. Though Bringing Down the House has been published as non-fiction, Mezrich has unapologetically taken artistic license for the sake of drama; a trend that has been carried over even more so to the motion picture. The movie’s writers were, reportedly, surprised when MGM Studios agreed to finance production of 21, however MGM casinos are owned by MGM Mirage, which is no longer affiliated with MGM Studios. Realistically though, the film only offers a very simplistic introduction to the idea of card counting, withholding vital details that make all of the difference. A recently released DVD exposed how the casinos viewed the film as a great way to encourage novice blackjack players to attempt counting cards without a full understanding of the true complexity of the system.
