While the game of blackjack has a reputation for being a battle between the casino and individual players, there's a lesser-known history of skilled teams taking on casinos. One of the most famous examples of this is the MIT Blackjack Team, a group of students and ex-students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who used advanced card-counting techniques to win millions of dollars in the 1970s and 1980s.
The team was known for its complex strategies and teamwork, which allowed them to exploit the casino's rules and gain a significant advantage. They often employed disguises and signals to communicate with each other without arousing suspicion. Their story was even turned into a book, "Bringing Down the House," which later became the basis for the popular movie "21."
