Mike Aponte is a former leader of the MIT blackjack team and a pioneer in card-counting strategies.

In the 1990s, he was part of a card-counting team that won millions of dollars at major U.S. casinos, including the MGM Grand, The Venetian, The Mirage, Treasure Island, and the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Aponte explains to Business Insider how card counting works, breaking down the mathematics and strategies behind it. He also discusses casino security, how he avoided detection, how team members were recruited, and how much they were paid.

Today, Aponte offers bespoke blackjack training and advantage-play consulting. He is also a keynote speaker at universities and corporate events.
