Donnie Black is not your typical handicapper. With an advanced degree from Columbia University, one would not readily expect Black to enter the world of professional gambling. Known across the card rooms of New York, Black has a reputation of having one of the sharpest minds in the business. As part of the huge betting syndicate that ran into trouble with the FBI in the mid eighties, Black continues his daily assault on the bookmaker's bankroll.
His expertise is computer simulations. With programs that make the average public database seem antiquated, Black has the ability to run each game on the board through thousands of simulations while tweaking hundreds of variables.
