Breaking Vegas

I believe once in awhile there is a show on the History Channel that shows how different people cheated the casinos in Vegas. It is actually quite entertaining and they use a lot of knowledge to execute these strategies. It included episodes such as..

"Slot Scoundrel." Profiling Tommy Glenn Carmichael, who came up with a scam to use slot machines as his personal ATM.

"Beat the Wheel." Childhood friends and physics geniuses Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard came up with a system to beat roulette.

"Professor Blackjack." Profiling Ed Thorp and card-counting.
