Card Counting
Roger Baldwin
Roger Baldwin is considered to be the father of card counting: his paper The Optimum Strategy in Blackjack, published in 1956, began the era of card counting; Baldwin is also the author of different books about blackjack, one of which had given him a right to become the member of Blackjack Hall of Fame though it was written by several authors.
The Counting King
This noble status can be given to Edward O. Thorp who continued Baldwin's work and proved the possibility of beating the house by using card counting systems. His book Beat the Dealer had become a national American bestseller when published in 1962. Edward O. Thorp was a nightmare of all casino dealers as he told everyone how to beat them out of their money by using one's own mind and memory.
MIT Blackjack Team
It was the group of ex-students of Massachusetts Intstitute of Technology who had become a real threat for all Las Vegas casinos in the end of the 20th century. For a rather short period of time they were able to beat casinos out of a great amount of money without using any computer devices but just card counting system. All MIT members were mathematicians and engineers by profession and they used a team work to play blackjack and win.
