This is the Bio of Mike Aponte, the leader of the famous MIT Blackjack Team which is the subject of the new movie 21.
Mike Aponte grew up all over the world. The son of a U.S. Army tactical instructor, he attended eleven different schools before graduating high school in New Jersey in 1988. He went on to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, where he pursued a degree in economics and played on the school's football team.
In 1992, his senior year, Aponte was recruited to join the MIT blackjack club, a team that used card counting to consistently (and legally) win at high-stakes blackjack. Aponte was intrigued with the game and the notion of beating it with math and spent hours practicing to hone his skills. He soon became one of the team's most successful players and eventually its manager.
By the end of year 2000, Aponte and his teammates had achieved a historic run at casinos all over the world, having won millions. Though they endured rigorous practice and a hectic schedule, which involved juggling classes, exams and short-notice trips, they also met famous athletes and celebrities and partied like rock stars. The team and their incredible journey became the subject of the New York Times Bestseller, Bringing Down the House, and several television specials, including Breaking Vegas and Anything for Money.
Aponte is too well-known now to play in casinos, though he does still occasionally compete in special invitational blackjack tournaments, like the World Series of Blackjack, which he won in 2004.
Nowadays Aponte splits his time between volunteer work to help low income and minority students achieve higher education and the Blackjack Institute, a program he co-founded with some of his former teammates, which is designed to impart the knowledge and skills necessary to beat the casinos through seminars and one-on-one mentoring. Aponte is married and currently resides in Washington, D.C.
The new movie 21 is based upon the life of Mike Aponte and his classmates at MIT. He is also the author of the best seller "Bringing down the House"

Whatever buddy, you don't get it. I saw the movie and it was great! The guy is white not asian. Asians are invisible! You don't see them in movies! Oh no! Where are they? Are they terrible actors? Yes. I see only martial arts, dorky looking asian nerds in all movies. Who plays the leading roles? White and Black. Asians play shitty roles or nothing at all. Now who rules? Who controls the media? Who watches the movies? American people and Hollywood! Do you get it?

People do not like ... ( 2 months ago by WORLDClTlZEN)

People do not like watching movies where asian, native or arabs play a positive role. People like to watch movies with stereotypes. People like to watch white/black as superheroes, leaders, machos, card counting smart dudes, blonde hair, blue eyes, big, tall! All I see-asians as losers in every movie! Show me a movie where asians play a normal macho guy who kisses a white women and kicks ass? Only dorks, nerds, martial artist with glasses. Now who is in control?

You asians let ... ( 2 months ago by WORLDClTlZEN)

You asians let yourselves shit and piss on and cry and whine about it. "The real guy is asian! Why a white guy with a hot girl playing the role in the movie 21?" Blah blah blah! Shut up and watch and deal with it! There is no a good asian actor who would fit to play it! Why because they suck! Or majority of americans are white and black they don't like asians kickin ass and kissing a white women in their movies! LOL So in the end you asians end up as losers!

I am not racist I am telling the truth idiots! They chose a white guy and put asians in background, because asians can't play the role and be with white woman. That's why they chose Jim Sturgess to play it! Idiots!
