Meet The Man Who Beat The System

Ever wondered if there was a way to never lose while betting on horse racing? The answer is, apparently, yes.

In a feature article posted by Bloomberg News a Las Vegas card-counter turned horseplayer named Bill Benter has made billions in his years of betting on horse racing.

"He told me he’d been driven only partly by money — and I believed him," writes Kit Chellel. "With his intelligence, he could have gotten richer faster working in finance. Benter wanted to conquer horse betting not because it was hard, but because it was said to be impossible."
