A fascinating documentary on the history of blackjack card counting. Follow the 'arms race' between the card counting professionals and the casinos, from the very first simple counting strategies, to the early card counting computers that baffled the FBI, and finally to the elusive secret society of MIT mathematics students who took Las Vegas for millions in the early 1990's with a team of card counters that had 125 members at it's peak! Amazing stuff, enjoy.

I saw a doco on the MIT guys a few years ago and it was amazing, they took every casino in L.V for a lot of money.
Very interesting
