They say that Blackjack is the only casino game where players have a certain advantage over the house. They say that with the help of card-counting it is actually possible to win some very nice jackpots in any casino, online and offline alike. Although skeptics would probably disagree arguing that casino operators are too smart to let gamblers win using any kind of cheating (and let’s face card-counting is in the very border between fair play and cheating), history has proved that card-counting in Blackjack actually works!
Have you ever heard about a group of students from the Massachusetts University of Technology who are now considered a legend in Blackjack card-counting? Well, if not, here goes their story in short. In the early 90’s of the twentieth century, a number of students from MIT figured that Blackjack was the only beatable game in casinos. They used their math expertise to hone their skills to predict when the cards being dealt will be favorable to them. The team visited the Sin City regularly, with trips nearly every weekend. They made lots of money and partied like there was no tomorrow.
Eventually, however, investigators employed by casinos realized who the card-counters were and banned them from the gaming venues they had frequented. With many of the top performing players banned, this was the end of the legendary adventures of the MIT Blackjack card counters.
