This story inspires me. It takes a lot of guts to pull it off. I wonder how it turned out for the students their techniques. Did such skill work for them also? Or did the casinos get smarter? Anyways it feels good to know the house doesn't always win

Any form of cheating couldn't justify the means. They might succeed yet there are still consequences. It's better to play fair and have peace of mind than to win or even beat the casino but has to face charges that could also ruin your reputation. I don't think they deserve admiration. We all want fair play and casinos also deserve that. We don't know the possible consequences that we might face in the future if we'll cheat today.
These should be the mindset that was a nature in human being but there are also some reason why people have turned out into these. We all know any form of cheating couldn't justify the means and even in any cause or even in any reason it wouldn't give you a peace of mind and sleep sound however there are also some gamblers which in need of money and luckily they have succeeded in their motive. Whatever their reason behind it we couldn't question their decision.
