Good article on Bill Kaplan

[Sonny]

"Kaplan founded the MIT Blackjack Team in 1980, and an earlier version in the late '70s. Over 15 years, he trained more than 100 players in card counting, the frowned-upon but legal technique his teams used to relieve casinos around the world of some $10 million. He also raised millions of dollars for stakes, performed sophisticated risk analysis to optimize betting, and constantly developed new strategies to elude detection by casino personnel."
