Breaking Vegas (M.I.T Kids own Vegas casinos) HISTORY CHANNEL

[freshproduct]

I guess this has something to do with that movie 21

.. anyway..check it out..

 

[awash242]

thanks for the heads up

For the West Coast folks, it's not on yet.

 

[vixiv]

I think they've shown this before.

We already have enough dummies coming here with "formulas" to beat the house. This movie's probably gonna help the casinos out and make a lot of"geniuses" a little bit poorer

[yarrh]

ive seen it a buncha times

 

[kdwallace]

I read the book last night and this morning - a good read. Interesting stuff. They killed for a couple of years - the main guys got around $2m each.

 

[utvol23]

Yeah seen this a few times. This may be better than the movie 21 since the actual team members are talking about their experiences in this one. Or is the movie21 based off a different MIT team b/c I know there have been multiple teams in fact i think they still produce new teams

 

[pharelfor3]

damn, when is it coming back on

 

[Nouss]

I've been watching since it came on.

Is it just me or does the History Channel do this sort of thing a lot? Where they pick up the topic of a "hot" movie and basically try to make alow-budget educational version of same?

I remember seeing a Spartan/Thermopylae one that was practically a scene-for-scene recreation of 300. (And I remember thinking that this is going to be acopyright lawsuit for sure.)

Well, I haven't seen 21 yet so it might be different . . . you tell me! If the History Channel interviewed the guys in Bringing Down the House andacted out the scenes or whatever, it'll probably be close to a movie based off the book.

 

[lightweight champion]

Gonna put this on DVR

 

[rhymefest]

Anybody know when this is on again?
I've read the book, saw 21 last night, so I'm interested in seeing this History Channel piece

they actually had shows on about the MIT group long before the movie. i remember watching it, literally, three years ago.

Same here

if i recall correctly, the first time i saw it was when they had a "Breaking Casinos week" where each day, they showed a different story aboutsome guy or group of people who figured out a way to beat the casinos at their own games by "cheating."

The main characters like Jeff Ma, etc. made around 2 million, it wasn't for a few grand
