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... |

Online casinos probably have an ever ending card shoe, thus you can't figure out the shoe count.

how do they prevent it? they tell the groups of people that are obviously working together and winning consistently from casino to casino to fuck off or limp for the rest of their lives and blacklist them from all the casinos. |

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.

I played with card counting 20 years ago, made some money but its brutally hard and tiresome - worse job I ever had in my life. Read Kenny Ustin (sic) book - Million Dollar Blackjack for an overview.
You can make money because the cards are not always random - a few times a night the remaining deck is ace and 10 rich and you can move in for the kill. With random decks played by online though, its not possible to beat.
