The code is law thing is a grey area. But I am open to the idea that this young man did not break any rules, just found flaws in the system. In the same way that card counting should not be against the law just because it resulted in the house being disadvantaged. These things should be addressed with patches to the rules, not legal action.

be careful with card counting, most casinos do "business" in such way that there is NO advantage for player. no matter what player does.

so all american youtube sagas about doing card counting in PRESENT time are fraud to dupe people into thinking that it is possible to card count. NOW TODAY.

Card counting is still possible (albeit a bit harder) in the present day - the mathematics are the same. Most casinos use more decks and don't deal as deeply into the shoe, but it is still entirely possible to gain a statistical edge over the house, which is why casinos will still ban you from playing blackjack if you are playing with an advantage(counting, varying your best sizes greatly based on the count, sitting out and watching until the deck gets deeper, ect). They will never ban you from games like Roulette, where you there truly is no way to gain an advantage over the house regardless of what strategy you use.

These days that’s probably true but it has been done: https://www.roulettestar.com/people/joseph-jagger/

He was a smart man:

> When he got home, he retired from the Mill and invested some of his winnings into property.

It's not really a grey area, there is a tacit contract with a mutually understanding that they will use the code to fulfil certain items in the contract, it doesn't take away the need to fulfil the rest of the parties obligations.
