[ThePiMan]

Kevin Spacey truly is a blackjack player. He always hits on 11.

[Rockyall]

"I like to take an interest in my students" has a whole other meaning now, Spacey

[delsolrunner]

"Jimmy got a job at Google"

That IS pretty catchy!!

[corylake]

Why is Kevin Spacey teaching blackjack when he can’t get over an 18

[VitchAndVorty]

If my math teacher said that I could dominate Las Vegas with math, I would have paid more attention.

[fanso]

This is what I love about Kevin Spacey. So good at acting in a cold and menacing way.

[HaydenLau.]

These people are way too good at math to be good looking, and way too good looking to be good at math.

[adamherrera]

always wondered what would've happened had Ben just been like "that's cool but and walked out.

[deletebilderberg]

Many young actors have been gripped by Spacey’s talent.

[mattdonovan]

Ben doesn’t know what blackjack is, but does know what counting cards is

[pottergeist]

Blackjack is really simple, all you have to do is memorize all the basic strategy then move on to a counting method and then knowing how to get the true count and then doing all of that in a casino without raising eyebrows multiple times

[kylethomas]

Fun fact one of the real people this story was based off teaches at my old high school. He teaches an incredibly high ranking math course that is taught around the world and his classroom has cameras all around it. The entire school and staff knows he was involved but he will never directly tell you. He also casually drives a Bentley to school everyday lol

[jacetamayei]

Continuity error 1:15 has cards face up and at 1:35, there are 6 cards face down

[dimitrijeblecic]

That's where he found the money to build Atlas Corp.

[FreeggNinja]

One of my favorite movies, seen it a bunch of times, can watch it over and over

[dudetocartman]

2:14 my favorite 3 words to hear. Also, from 2:31-3:57, this is a perfect way to get to your best employee if you're like a business owner and want to keep your best asset from leaving. The way Mickey delivered his convincing movement on Ben was really good. How can Ben turn down something so profitable? If he was really that smart, he really should have looked into this and see the positive outcomes when doing it correctly.

[yaboyomar]

That line:"I like to take an interest in my students" hits different now

[richardroberts]

Kevin Spacey is such a good actor, whatever happened to him, haven't seen him in a while

[brentfry]

Don’t develop a self-driving car! No money or future in that stuff. Playing physical card games is the future!

[timothygalvin]

All joking aside. The threat at the end of the scene is so well done.
