		<description>I have a dvd of Andy Bloch teaching card counting, using the high and low system. I have the move 21. In the movie the guy is counting his own cards, and not the next person&#039;s. I like playing alone with the dealer. Here a question. Do casinos allow players to have cel phone or IPODS at the tables?

		<description>When I heard that 21 was based on a true story, I thought &#039;I have to meet these guys!&#039; I do agree that you guys (John Chang &amp; the team) should have gotten more credit, both the book and the film. Your story really is a very interesting one to tell. My teacher (during class) actually taught us how to count cards for weeks and it took us quite some time, but we did manage to get a hang of it in the end. Of course we couldn&#039;t really do anything because we&#039;re not old enough to go to gamble in casinos. 


How did all this gambling and card counting affect your life, though? I mean, you get a lot of money, yes, but is it still the same when you become older?</description>

		<description>I have watched the film and have tried to research about counting i have the hi lo system cracked all but the betting amounts in relation to a true count worked off off the running count. i am from the uk and frequent a six deck 1 bj table casino. i would appreciate it if  any of the old mit team (pefferably ones who are succesful and have been listed on the griffin face recognition site) could get in touch via e mail and we could talk about some training (i am willing to pay) kithalliday@london.com The casinos i use over here are very weak on security and do not expect it. i believe  i could do it little but often and make a couple of million dollars before having to go out of the uk. Oppurtunity for known american to be paid for teaching and % of a much easier uk market.  BUT   THE TIME IS NOW as modernization will lead to an american style setup.  dATED 14 day 5 month 2008.....pointer gbp=2$</description>

		<description>I remembered this one dude sat next to me, I was betting big....while he bet $200, I want to force more cards out of the deck, the guy sat next to me have a huge chance of losing if he draw a card, if stay he could of win, but I wanted him to force another card out of the deck so I can caculate the percentage.  I told him, go ahead and draw, he went &quot;are you crazy...I got 18, the dealer got 7&quot;..  I gave my chip to him.  I say.  you are in win/win situtation.  If you lose, you can have my $400 chip, if you win, you get from the dealer.  beacuse I was more worried about my bet.  So he got the Q....he lose, which I was very worried.  beacuse I have 13.  beacuse the percentage of D catagory is very high, I know the dealer will have 17 for sure.  to draw a catagory C card is less than 30 pct, D alone is over 40 pct, and a/b 30 pct.  I draw a catagory C card a #6....I got 19, deal flipped card over, its was a 10, 17.  that dude save me, its was a pure luck, since that time, something pop in my head...&quot;I need a team....team of 4.....no 5 people, cover the whole table.........I sit here last and bet big, and the rest sit before me bet minimum to control the cards for me&quot;....till this movie 21 came out,  I gave up my ideas on the team.</description>

		<description>I am here because a freind said its a true story of an asian guy....I am glad thats wasn&#039;t me, usually I count 4 decks of the cards, and alway sit on the last seat of the row so I can see the other player&#039;s card, its only improved the odd, you still need lucks.  I don&#039;t count 10,j,q,K as individual. I counted them as 64 numbers in catagory D, 6 to 9 = 64 numbers in catagory C, 3 to 5 = 48 numbers in catagory B, and Ace &amp; 2 = 32 numbers in catagory A.  Total 208 numbers all together

Its only work on the non resuffer dealer, normally the high bet table.  Lets say I have been betting small by myself at minimum, the dealer was gonna deal for one more hand and was about to resuffer, so the very last hand before resuffer, I placed a very big bet, I already count 57D, 32C, 41B, 27A. Total of 158 card counts, included all the player sat before me and my cards.  My turn to draw a card, I have J and 2.  Dealer have the 6.  If the closed card = D, the chance of dealer drawing the next card are mostly C catagory which is 6 to 9 chance are 32 out of 50 included the catagory D which make it chance of 38 out of 50 the dealer will die. Chance for the dealer to survive is less than 24 pct. and as for me I have a hugh chance of survival, to get another 10 its 6 out of 50 I would lose, and there are many cards in catagory C left, which is 6 to 9.  so I figured I would get to 18 to 21 with the chance of 32 cards out of 50 in deck.  I double up my money, people said I am crazy because I have 12, and dealer have 6 as their face card.  Bascially I ignored all of them, I bet on the odd and double up , I got the 8, so I have total of 20, I went &quot;phew lucky&quot; .  Now here is the problem where the dealer flip the card over, its was an a 2.  Dealer got 8.  from that moment I knew I already won, based on the odd Dealer 3rd cards = 8 again,  total 16, dealer was force to draw one more, now drew a 9, total 25.  I observe the game with small bet till every 30 minutes, I only bet big if I see the odd can be crack, like the catagory C.  if all of them have same pct, I will bet small, lets the deal resuffer, and try again every 30 minutes.  If someone can count exactly all 13 numbers..they can make a lot of money by themself, my brain = dumb, therefore I can only count 4 group of numbers.  I asked the dealer if I can use paper and pencil while playing blackjack.  They said no cell, no paper, no pencil, if paper and pencil, I could of write down all the #.....or a caculator haha.  I am writing this because the movie 21 is so simliar, but done by group of 4 people, each person can count 1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 9, 10+.  The easiest one should be the 10 +, more card, but easier to keep trace, since all card goes by 10.  I haven&#039;t watch the movie, but read story about it, from what I see, each player would signal how many cards are out for each number, so the next person can bet on the odd before drawing.  I wish I have a group like that, trust is the problem for me.

everything is based on lucks still...the odd just boost little more percentage of winning thats it.  I am not alway successful, I bet big last hand about almost 200 times, total I lose is exactly 32 times.  I can&#039;t remember how many times I won, but I remembered exactly how many time I loss, its a lesson for me. and each bet + double up is almost as much as a used car.</description>

Dealer got 8.  from that moment I knew I already won, based on the odd Dealer 3rd cards = 8 again,  total 16, dealer was force to draw one more, now drew a 9, total 25.  I observe the game with small bet till every 30 minutes, I only bet big if I see the odd can be crack, like the catagory C.  if all of them have same pct, I will bet small, lets the deal resuffer, and try again every 30 minutes.  If someone can count exactly all 13 numbers..they can make a lot of money by themself, my brain = dumb, therefore I can only count 4 group of numbers.  I asked the dealer if I can use paper and pencil while playing blackjack.  They said no cell, no paper, no pencil, if paper and pencil, I could of write down all the #&#8230;..or a caculator haha.  I am writing this because the movie 21 is so simliar, but done by group of 4 people, each person can count 1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 9, 10+.  The easiest one should be the 10 +, more card, but easier to keep trace, since all card goes by 10.  I haven&#8217;t watch the movie, but read story about it, from what I see, each player would signal how many cards are out for each number, so the next person can bet on the odd before drawing.  I wish I have a group like that, trust is the problem for me.</p>
<p>everything is based on lucks still&#8230;the odd just boost little more percentage of winning thats it.  I am not alway successful, I bet big last hand about almost 200 times, total I lose is exactly 32 times.  I can&#8217;t remember how many times I won, but I remembered exactly how many time I loss, its a lesson for me. and each bet + double up is almost as much as a used car.</p>

		<description>This movie stinks just like &quot;The Firm&quot;, why??? If this guiy was so smart what so many dumb moves like keep going to Vegas, not changing the signs, going to over and over to Vegas with the same people, keeping money in his Dorm Room, just a dumb ass. Just like John Grisham &quot;The Firm&quot; How does Top Law Student from Harvard end up working for a Mob Firm? If he is so smart why no research on the firm that will employ him??? Does not make any sense!</description>

		<description>Old news, so here goes. Infamous MR.&quot;M&quot; is none other than J.P. Massar, asked Bill Kaplan for help. Mr. Kaplan had already ran a team in Las Vegas and MR. &quot;M&quot; asked for Mr. Kaplan assistance with his team. MR, Kaplan agreed and they got to work. So without notice MIT was around long before John C. So yes, John has a masterful mind, and very, very, very brilliant, but needless to say not the the mastermind behind the MIT team. MIT was around long before John. So to say that Micky Rosa was based on John being the mastermind well, we all know the truth and Micky Rosa = John..........NOT!!!!!!</description>
