Gonzalo García Pelayo

Gonzalo was born on May 25, 1947 in Spain. From a young age he had a talent for games, but still decided to be a producer and mathematician, which gave him the necessary knowledge to become a millionaire.

In the 1990s, he decided to create a strategy to win roulette or at least put the odds in his favor. He studied and experimented with the game for a few years. He and his 5 children, all of them of legal age, went to the casinos in Madrid to take notes of all the winning numbers that came out on the roulette wheel.

With his calculations and those of a computer, the García Pelayo family managed to win 1.5 million dollars. But the casino didn’t believe their luck and sued the family, alleging cheating. The trial lasted from 1990 until 2004, and Gonzalo managed to win the case.

Edward Thorp

Thorp was a great mathematics professor born in 1932 in the United States. In the 1960s Edward realized that blackjack is different from other games of chance and that it is possible to predict what will happen in this game.

Thorp used an IBM supercomputer to study the odds and develop a technology for counting cards. To test his theory, Thorp contacted a professional blackjack player.
The two went to a casino where they were able to prove that, in fact, the method worked. With $10,000 they managed to win another $11,000 in just one weekend, but the casino noticed and the security services would not let them play anymore.

After proving his theory, Edward wrote a book called Beat The Dealer, where he taught his system. The book became a best seller and many players made large amounts of money with it, but the casinos don’t like it one bit, and people using the Thorp method are often banned.

Dustin Marks

Ever since he was a child Dustin performed magic tricks and dreamed of being an illusionist, a dream that for him has never faded. After finishing university, Marks decided to become a croupier to perfect his technique. So, he ended up working in a casino in Las Vegas, where he performed his tricks and gimmicks and filmed them on camera. If he did not notice his own tricks on film, then they were perfect.

So, after developing a strategy, he decided to team up with another dealer from a nearby establishment. They would alternate between dealer and player in the different casinos, putting their tactics into practice, and managed to make, in just one night, over $100,000. The two became one of the most successful gambling duos in history, and what’s more, they were never caught. One way or the other, it gives a good feeling to see the house lose sometimes, and if you want to read more cool stories like this one, stay tuned to our news section!
