La black week. L'unica settimana dell'anno senza limiti di puntata. Ovviamente non tutti i casinò partecipano, ma è difficile trovarne uno tra i grandi che si chiuda fuori. Un BlackJack può portarti in tasca anche un milione di dollari se ti gestisci bene i tuoi soldi. Partite con piatti che possono arrivare al miliardo, nell'ultimo giorno sono la regola. Chiunque, se ha abilità e anche solo un dollaro, può diventare l'uomo più ricco del mondo. Perchè è questo il casinò: abilità. Chiunque ti dia del fortunato dopo una vincita a poker o BlackJack, o è coglione o uno stupido irrecuperabile. Abilità. Faccia da poker, calcolo delle probabilità, giochi di psicologia tra una puntata e l'altra. Non metto in dubbio la presenza della fortuna, tuttavia, non occupa neanche il 1% nel poker, mentre nel BlackJack forse si avvicina al 5%. Ci abbiamo messo nove anni a fare questi calcoli e ad allenarci. Quando ho detto "abbiamo" intendo io e mio fratello. Ci chiamiamo Jack e Martin Black, e vogliamo uscire da Las Vegas con almeno 25 miliardi di dollari.
