I feel like it's less greed when they're gaming back casinos that already have a house edge.
Counting cards ,being able recognize cards, it seems like anything where a person might use their brain to deduce what's next is "cheating"
Greed and cheating needn't be realted. The players are following this strategy to make money, presumably more than they should want. Whether they're taking it from moral or immoral sources should be a separate issue, imho.

I’m not sure I understand this. Why should there be a limit to the amount of money someone wants?
I say greed with absolutely no moral implications here ! But when you watch the doco it is pretty apparent that this kind of hunger is compulsive.
Its greed from a game theory perspective. She could have walked away at 5 million and gotten away with it.
