For those of you that are familiar with the MIT Blackjack story (IE Bringing Down the House),

do you think that such team play is possible/doable by your group of average joes? Has anyone tried it? A few of my friends and I are trying to get into it.

THanks!

How much are you all pooling together? I think for the variance and time you will spend learning this, you will need quite a bit of money. Also, every person on the team has to be able to count PERFECT. And I feel that at Indian Casinos, also, that you won't get deep enough penetration. What part of the country are you doing this in?

I do agree with one of the posters. Don't do it like the MIT guys. I think every person should count and vary their bets. The casinos aren't stupid. And I think they would catch on to the "big bettor" pretty quickly. But, if you are all at different tables and never show your faces together I think you will find it to be a little easier (though you will eventually get caught). I personally think there is more money and less risk betting on sports. Your ROI will be higher. Even if you buy your picks from www.sharpsportsbetting.com and line shop like crazy, I think you and your friends would make a lot more money. Just my 2 cents.
