Bill Benter did the impossible: He wrote an algorithm that couldn’t lose at the track. Close to a billion dollars later, he tells his story for the first time.[/quote]

this is a VERY long article. But for those of us who have the gambling persuasion, I thought it was excellent.

It took me about 15 mins to read the whole article.

TL;DR  23 year old moves to vegas to be a blackjack card counter, then moves to Hong Kong to bet on horses, loses everything, counts cards again, then wins maybe up to a billion, and then gives away a shitload of the money to charities

Really good read.

I also noticed you finally changed your username; glad you didn't change your avatar though.

This needs to be made into a movie.  Also, Happy Valley Race Course, on a Wednesday night, kicks all sorts of ass.  Can't recommend it enough if you find yourself in HK.
