Samion Watson played Pac-Man when he was a kid in Texas. He wanted to make his quarter last a very long time, so he went to the library and found some books on video games. But then he noticed that all these other books were about blackjack. So what is it? Is it total recall, concentration or do you just have to be good with numbers? No, none of the above.
What does it take to count cards? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explore blackjack, quantitative thinking, and the journey from MIT blackjack player to angel investor with Semyon Dukach, Managing Partner at One Way Ventures.
