Is he genuinely related to Padraig Harrington? I thought that was the football quarterback Joey Harrington who is Padraig's cousin.
How do you cheat at Roulette? I know there were some MIT teams cheating at Blackjack... Evercat 11:20, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Does anyone have a reference for the part about cheating at roulette? Couldn't find anything with google. Dze27 08:45, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
I don't know that Harrington was involved, but I have a book that describes the roulette cheating thing. It's called The Eudaemonic Pie. You can find it on amazon. The book isn't as exciting as one would think. Most of it describes the preparation, training, etc. I don't recall them using lasers, just computers in their toes and some infrared communication from one person to another. They set parameters relating to the wheel speed, tilt, etc. and after their parameters were set, they'd do quadrant betting. When they finally get around to talking about actually USING the thing in actual casinos it's almost the end of the book. Anyway, I don't have the book on me right now, but I can't recall it making any mention of Harrington. CryptoDerk 14:30, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
He joined forces with a small "Mission Impossible" team that relied on MIT-derived mathematical formulas to generate precise calculations for winning at roulette. They enjoyed a 40% edge on each spin -- until the Sands Hotel Casino in Atlantic City caught them.
I was observing all of Harringtons WSOP final tables and got the impression from the interviews that he might have some form of high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome... just something I got from comparing those I know in my personal life with those conditions to how Harrington acted. Is that something someone could look into? -AKMask 18:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
