HAHA! I bet that you thought this was going to be another misplaced game-related post, but alas, it is not! Got ya!

Anyways, I saw a documentary on the History channel yesterday about the kids on the MIT blackjack team. Pretty much, they got together a bunch of money and mathematically found the ways to beat the house in blackjack. Then, they trained a team of college kids to play using different techniques, one of which includes the "high/low counting" method.

But technical stuff aside, these kids made MILLIONS of dollars doing this, and I want some of that sweet stuff. Anyone willing to donate to the start-up fund, or experienced players willing to begin the rigorous training, I'm looking for you.

Let the games begin!

I know with "expert" Blackjack play, you can get your expected return up to something like 99.5%, better than any other casino game. But the only way to push it over 100% is counting cards.

2-6 are a +1
7-9 are neutral
10-K are -1

When the count gets high enough, say a +5 to a +10, that means that there are more high cards in the deck, and therefore the dealer will bust more often.

That's only scratching the surface of all the strategy, though.
