Hey man,
I just got done reading Ben's book and I gotta say you're the man. I think its very cool that educated kids can take the system down, and legally at that. Keep on doin what you're doin brother and inspire more of us to use more brains than force to get what we want. Take it easy.

hiya semyon, im from glasgow, scotland and i reguralry plunder casinos using not only the techniques fro ur book but also a couple of others ive learned over the years. ilike urself i am starting at a fairly young age 20 although nothing quite compares to the buzz u get when u bust a dealer knowing full well what card he/she is going to get.

i was wondering if u would ever or have ever perfomed your magic since your days at M.I.T in the casinos?

after all old habbits die hard. Best wishes, Malcolm.

Hello Semyon-

Read Ben's book "Busting Vegas"- it was quite exciting though rather implausible at times. How close was the book to your real story? When the MIT team was winning hundreds of thousands a night, how did you guys get around the IRS notification of your earnings?

I enjoyed your antics and cheered for you the whole story but can't help wonder if you would have had better luck not attracting so much attention to yourselves in the garish fashion described in Ben's book. Laying low might have made your skill into a lifetime career... (or maybe you have another ace up your sleeve).

Thanks Semyon!

Semyon thanks for the add. Your picture looks like the Florida Everglades - my girl and I went there last year - she got mad at me because I tried to coax a gator out of the water for a better picture!
