21 was a great movie about this

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It...really wasn't a great movie in general nor about card counting. Reasons:

Actual people it was based on were all Asian, but they had to put white people in it because Hollywood.
The actual people played in Atlantic City which makes sense considering Las Vegas is like 2000 miles away from MIT.
When they arrive at the casino, the rag tag cast shows up in style and makes it incredibly obvious that they are all a part of the same group which is like card counting kryptonite.
Morpheus delivers the least convincing punch since the 3 Stooges.
It takes place well after casinos started shuffling after every hand. The strategy would not have worked in 2008.
Dumbass kid stores thousands of dollars in the ceiling of a building where he doesn't even have the only key. Safe deposit boxes are not expensive.
MIT uses a 5 point GPA system, so a 4.0 GPA is not terribly impressive.
I got a 3.8 from MIT, don't tell anyone that last point.
