Sturgess takes Vegas for millions in "21."
A recent Newsweek article has presented a fair question in regard to the gambling hit "21," in which an MIT big shot finances his education by counting cards/cheating at the blackjack table.
But why, why, oh why, would casinos be rushing to embrace and host the premiere of a movie that portrays them getting scammed?
"This movie is great for Vegas. It perpetuates the myth that blackjack is beatable," an MIT dude told Newsweek. Counting cards to up your gambling chances is much harder than actor Jim Sturgess makes it look, apparently.
