"The idea of the perfect formula began with a Vegas legend. In the early 1950s a man known as Greasy John played a card game called Blackjack. He got his nickname from never being without a huge basket of fried chicken. He was so repellent no one could bare to share his table. He played for hours on end, just him against the dealer, and night after night he'd win. Clearly he had a system, but no one could work out what it was. Then at the height of his success Greasy John suffered a massive heart attack. Whatever his secret was he took it to the grave. Greasy John's story entered gambling folk lore, whoever could crack his strategy would have the key to enormous wealth."
