Andy Bloch... fascinating Documentary on the Tube

Just saw a very interesting documentary with Andy Bloch as one of it's 'stars'. It was on the MIT blackjack teams that took millions out of casinos I guess all over the world.

I had read the book, a really good read. Recommend it.

Had no idea Andy was a part of that, fascinating stuff. Have to wonder just how many millions they in fact won.

i would hesitate to say that they, "won" anything. the same way you wouldn't say the casino won your money. they took it from the casinos, the same way the casinos take it from it's customers.

Riana, ever since I read the book -- Bringing Down the House -- I've been looking for the documentary. What's it called?

As far as I know, Bloch was a member of the Amphibians, the "other" team that is mentioned- but not featured- in Bringing Down the House.

don't know what team he is on, but he's not on Dubya's team.
