Bill Benter did the impossible: He wrote an algorithm that couldn’t lose at the track. Close to a billion dollars later, he tells his story for the first time.

    I don’t buy it. Story follows some ethical/sportsman’s fable about winning $16 million and deciding to just not collect it, as if using computers to calculate your best bet is somehow wrong.

    Then why did you build the system, and buy the tickets?

    This is a fluff piece or some masturbatory feel-good crock.
