Winning blackjack using a system... online...

I saw an interesting doco the other day about a bunch of MIT students who developed/refined a system which over time almost guaranteed a profit when playing blackjack at a casino. Eventually it all fell apart because the casinos figured out their deal and banned them. They were not doing anything illegal, but obviously their system was costing the casino. At one stage they were up nearly $900k in profit.

So, if a mathematical system can be applied to blackjack... what do the online casinos do to detect/prevent it?

I'm just curious, I know stuff all about blackjack...
