You can listen to my interview with famed MIT card counter Mike Aponte:
My guest today is Mike Aponte, a professional blackjack player and a former member of the MIT Blackjack Team. Aponte was featured in the bestselling book “Bringing Down The House” as the player Jason Fisher, which was adapted into the movie “21”.
The topic is investing.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Due to his systematic approach, he’s definitely not a gambler; he’s an investor
- Aponte’s beginnings
- The similarities between systematic card counting and trend trading; the psychology behind the two
- How even some of the more advanced mathematicians at MIT didn’t have the risk-taking constitution it took to make the cut
- Some revealing anecdotes along the way, including a run in with casino security that ended with them actually asking for his autograph
