Has anyone seen this? It's about counting cards and the like. Very good film. Definitely would recommend . Bought and watched the other day and couldn't find a topic on it. So here is one

I haven't seen it, but sounds interesting, more info PLOX?

It's based on a true story of MI Students who basically learnt to card count and therefore made thousands upon thousands in Las Vegas Casinos. They work together to see which table is "hot" - i.e. several people play on several tables playing passively. Putting down small amounts of money - keeping a count of the cards. When it's more likely that a card will win they make a signal and the big money player comes to the table (the main character in this case). They make thousands upon thousands of dollars!

Whilst this isn't illegal, it leads to trouble. Casino bosses don't want guys just making loads of money so it's a question of will they be caught, and if so, if they will be killed. I don't want to ruin the rest of the story. But this is what the film is about.

TL;dr? MI students need to somehow pay for collegue. Using their obvious great intelligence they count cards and take on vegas. With potentially dangerous consequences.

Sounds pretty good, I've heard all about card counting and stuff, it's fascinating. I think casinos now shuffle after every few hands to stop it working so well.

Will likely give this a look in, if I have a chance.

It's £5 at tesco, which it's definitely worth. If I see you sometime I can also lend it to you though if you like ^^.

Stuff like card counting is such an awesome topic to read and watch about. Just the way of being able to count the cards, sum up your chances with the cards you have, etc. is brilliant! A real talent.

I can imagine casinos do make it much harder now, guess it makes sense after stories like that. But seriously, being able to pay for uni by having a talent like that would be awesome!

Yeah, lend it to me next time we meet, would be awesome

It is an amazing talent, I'm good with numbers, but that amazes me.

Okie dokie. I'll give it to you next time I see you. Have it sat here right next to me now lol.

Yeah, there's like 6 decks being used and stuff, so that's 312 cards to memorise as to what's been in and out of the deck. And even then you won't be 100% certain about your bet, just that you have a greater or smaller chance of winning - also having to take into account what other people have on the table. Crazy!

Yea its a pretty good film, mostly because of the good storyline with the main character and the fact is based on a true story.

why else would it be a good film xD

Hawt gurlz, fast carz and explosions.
