Why do people tend to make a big deal about MIT students that gamble (blackjack, poker)? There are books about them and by them, and there are TV documentaries about them. Are they really that advanced in math (or is it engineering)?

You never hear about "Harvard MBAs" or "Stanford engineering students" that broke the bank in Las Vegas.

are you asking why no TV producer/writer has talked about this yet? probably b/c they don't know of any true stories yet.

also, MIT has 'sexy' name when it comes to math, in the eyes of the general population. more than any other US university.
