Card counting has been used to beat the system for decades and is illegal at basically every casino in the world. If a dealer suspects a player may be counting cards, the player may be asked to leave the casino immediately. However, a group of enterprising MIT students managed to put their heads together to beat the system. A few members would count cards while a third member exclusively at high count tables. Additional members would distract the dealers by making huge bets themselves, ignoring the count and just breaking even. The team won millions this way and even formed an investment company just to handle their bankroll.
