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...

but in the end they lost it all.
and you have to remember they had about $2,000,000 to START
with from corporate sponsors.
their plan back fired, people started getting addicted to the
shit, lost focus, and dropped out.
in the end, the lost all of their sponsor's money.
they were better off putting the $2,000,000 on black. not even
a bunch of smart ass MIT kids can beat the casino.
