pm: A random thought..

You could technically play on a team even if your team members were in different states, even if you'd never even met your team members. Really all you'd have to do is set up a joint account online and communicate results and bet levels and whatnot through email. Of course, you'd have to know for a fact that your team member/members are trustworthy and skilled.

I found it interesting to think that this could actually be done nowadays.

bjinsider.com had a recent interview with Tommy Hyland that in part describes a dispersed team structure, working principally off of the scale allowed by a pooled bank. Other than this interview, I know nothing about Hyland or his reputation (I am new to the game and its history), but thought it may interest you.

I searched for him on google and the only relevant link I got was a post of yours from a different site. Not a published author?

Tommy Hyland is arguably one of the most successful organizers of blackjack teams in history, more so than Ken Uston or the MIT team. He just never wrote a book about it. At least, he hasn't yet.

Do a google search with his name spelled right and you should come up with a bunch of interesting reading.

What makes you think it isn't already being done?
