No, Nov 21, 2006.

But still interesting to me.

"With Bernie Goldberg as correspondent, Real Sports cameras go undercover in Las Vegas with two of the former MIT card counters profiled in Mezrich's book as they give viewers an inside look at the secrets of their success at blackjack".

They showed giving signals for the "big player" to come in.

They also showed getting backed off !

I like when the News reporters said that they tried to speak to 20+ Casinos to ask them why they won't allow winning players in their Casinos and not getting any responses.

Ha I enjoyed that too. Great video btw. It was really cool to see them signaling and playing at the tables! With a 2 person call in team though I'd think they got some 'decent' variance not to get hammered in the good counts. It "looked" like their big bet was around 400 (or maybe he had blacks under the green stacks?). Couple doubles/splits and unfortunate losses later that $10K bankroll could have been chopped down a chunk. I'm just making discussion though. Awesome video, including the back off. I wish there were more like this!
Playing it correctly means you've already won.
