Thanks to his qualities Ben is recruited into a team made up of the most gifted college students. The team carries on a special profitable business: every weekend the group moves to Las Vegas where, using a computing system created by their Math teacher Micky Rosa, they manage to break the casino's bank by applying science to Black Jack.

“You know what's worse than a loser? Someone who won't admit he played it wrong.”
“- Miles Connoly: Look, guys, we don't date, we don't travel, we don't have any money. The only thing that we do have is the 2.09 Competition. If we can't even win that, what's the point?
- Cam: We suck.”“- Ben Campbell: You know, ever since I was 16, I crushed exams. I took on extracurricular. I showed up early. I even sat at the front of the class and stayed late. Man, I gave up everything. You know, I gave up fun. I gave up sex.
- Miles Connoly: I don't think you gave up sex.
- Ben Campbell: Okay, maybe not sex.”“- Micky Rosa: There's one more thing, Ben, and this is important. We're counting cards, we're not gambling. We're following a specific set of rules and playing a system.
- Ben Campbell: Right.
- Micky Rosa: Now, I've seen how crazy it can get at those tables, and sometimes, people lose control. They give in to their emotions. You will not.”“- Jill Taylor: Ben, you should feel the thrill of winning more money than you can possibly imagine. I think you should come to Vegas. 'Cause I'm guessing that you could probably use a break from this place.
- Ben Campbell: I can't. I'm sorry. I just can't.
- Jill Taylor: You're welcome any time. You know, I think the best thing about Vegas is...” (continue)(continue reading)“Hey, Fisher. Win like a man, lose like a man.”
“- Ben Campbell: Hey, I let you down, all right. I get it.
- Micky Rosa: Excuse me? You let me down? I don't care! Let me make one thing clear to you, I am not your father! You are not my friend. This is a business. You were only good to me as the money you make, and, right now it's not worth a hell of a whole lot!”“I think the worst part of it was not being able to tell anyone. But for the first time in my life, the world made itself easy for me. And I liked it.”
“- Ben Campbell: How come you don't play?
- Micky Rosa: Oh, I did. I played for a long time and I was the best. But I'm retired now. Take my advice, Ben, it's always best to go out when you're on top. Welcome to Vegas!”“You not only have a gifted mind, but you're also composed. You don't give in to your emotion. You think logically. Ben, you were born for this.”
“All right, look, Ben. I'm not gonna lie to you. You're good, you're very, very good. But you did exactly what I told you not to. You got emotional and then you got stupid. Now you tell me why in the world I'd ever get back in business with you.”
“- Ben Campbell: I've just lost everything! Look, please... I don't want to lose you, too.
- Jill Taylor: Ben, you were dragged away in Vegas. I haven't heard from you. I had no idea where you were.
- Ben Campbell: I know. You know, I'm so sorry that I hurt you. I'm sorry. In Vegas, I don't know what happened. That wasn't me. Look, you know me....” (continue)(continue reading)“- Micky Rosa: You steal 'The Bible', you go to Hell. That's the way it works.
- Choi: Like I'm not going already.”
