Brandon Duke- "21" 4/19

I liked this movie. After i got home i got on the computer and looked up the real MIT crew. Apparently they have produced a number of different black jack players. A couple that are still doing their thing undercover.

The whole thing is just crazy. The thing that got me was that online they said that counting cards only gives you like a 3% advantage over the house. They said that is enough to clean them out. But sometimes it bites you, just like it did in the movie.

I really like the idea of beating the system though. I think i would try something like that if i had the brains. But I hate vegas so i dont know. It way to dark and dirty for me. The whole risk factor and rush thing appeal to me though. I think it would be fun doing the whole code thing with your heart beating all fast.

all in all good movie, although i would have rather seen "horton hears a who" but whateva
