The more interesting guy is Zeljko Ranogajec [1], who has made himself into a billionaire with horse racing betting algorithms. It's pretty incredible to think that it is possible to beat a game with a ~20% rake so badly that you become a billionaire. Bill Benter [2] is another horse racing billionaire. Both of these guys started as low-stakes blackjack card counters and pretty much worked their way up from nothing.
