Every time I watch the drama of the Gambling King, I often see a scene where some people win one after another, and the chips change more and more! At that time, I thought it was because their luck had come! In fact, they also have a skill and the confidence to gamble! They don't rely on the luck of God but on their brains. Today, let's talk about the genius that even this casino doesn't dare to challenge — Kevin Ma.
Speaking of Kevin Ma, he was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. His father is a chemistry professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He graduated from the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy, and in the 90s, he joined the MIT Blackjack Team during his junior year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His story was adapted into the movie "21". Afterward, he and his team members used their mathematical research to practice at the casino every weekend, often winning big. I remember that after Kevin Ma won money for the first time, he spent $2,000 to buy himself a watch. He still keeps that watch to commemorate the joy of the successful application of the theory. In the Rosa system: the more small cards in a deck, the greater the probability that the player will win against the dealer. This theory can only increase their winning probability by 3%, but it is this 3% that allows them to win hundreds of thousands of dollars every weekend with $100,000.
Kevin Ma and his teammates trained with this theory, constantly practicing at the casino. Soon, Kevin Ma became the best player in the group. Usually, his teammates would go first, and when enough small cards were dealt, they would let Kevin Ma take a look, finally bringing the session to an end. The Rosa system requires enough funds to ensure a sufficiently long time. Kevin Ma and his teammates often flew to Las Vegas with $100,000 to $300,000 in cash. The best weekend netted them $450,000. In the mid-90s, Kevin Ma and his companions earned about $10 million through calculations. Of course, there were miscalculations too. Once, he played two rounds and lost $100,000. The dealers in Las Vegas also counted cards. The people who started counting cards in the casino became increasingly difficult to win until one day they were exposed. The casinos gradually realized that something was wrong and compiled a blacklist of these card counters using surveillance images.
Since then, Kevin Ma and others have become the 'No Communication' group for nearly a hundred casinos in the United States, especially at the 21 tables. People who go to the casino are afraid of them. But they have all become famous gamblers! Someone once said that gambling and winning depend on skill, and this time, I believe it! |
