Bill Benter is one of the richest professional gamblers and philanthropist. The man won about $1 billion betting through horse betting in Hong Kong.

The film called \u201c21\u201d was inspired by John Chang who helped develop Kevin Spacey\u2019s character. The movie came from \u201cBringing the House Down\u201d which was a book that was based on a true story of the MIT Blackjack Squad. John Chang was a player and also managed the team in the 1980-1990s.<\/p>\n

Ed Thorp was the motivation behind Benter and many other professional gamblers. Beat the Dealer was a book he wrote in 1962s about card counting. He was a math teacher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The book became a best seller and soon after that Blackjack became popular all over Las Vegas Robin said.<\/p>\n

Antony Curtis is the 25th<\/sup> member of the Blackjack Hall of Fame. Curtis was an expert Blackjack player who later established the Huntington Press and the Las Vegas Advisor newsletter. He resided in Las Vegas in 1979 and played for a gambling team that was the same as the MIT Team.<\/p>\n
