According to ABC News and The 60 Minutes TV program, in the early 90s, a group 
of math and science students at the world famous Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology (MIT) had focused their attention on a very different curricular 
activity; gambling, specifically blackjack.

They realized, which is known to industry experts, that blackjack is the only 
game you can beat in the casinos - and beat it they did.

In the beginning of year 1992, after comprehensive, and at times grueling 
training and practice sessions, they were making regular weekend trips to Las 
Vegas. On one occasion, they took $400,000 in one weekend out of the casinos, 
eventually, running their total winnings up to about $4,000,000 within a year 
or so.
