Maria “The Greek”
Maria is the co-founder and one-time manager of “The Greeks” blackjack team.
Having quit their day jobs as very successful New York Attorneys, she, her brother and highly respected colleagues formed the largest single group of players in history; at one time she simultaneously managed scores of individual players.
She recruited only the top talent, having the most notoriously difficult set of tests required to pass in order to get onto the team. Additionally, Maria’s team won countless millions utilizing a “slash and burn” technique in which BP’s would wade into the middle of a game, often betting table max. Needless to say, each BP didn’t last long, but the enormous bets resulted in some of the largest card counting wins in history.
An extraordinary businessperson, she utilized her business acumen, extraordinarily high I.Q. (even among the best of the best) along with common sense to guide the most successful single Card Counting team this Century.
Along with being a master at Sequencing and Tracking, Maria is also the only woman to have ever won the coveted title of “World’s Greatest Blackjack Player” at the Blackjack Ball (even in the days that arm wrestling, chip shuffling, card tossing and more were among the 11 events at the final table : )
