Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions

Bringing Down the HouseThis is a story about a group of MIT students who came up with a system to win lots of money at the blackjack tables. These well-educated Asian American kids used a standard card counting system to do it, but the real genius in their system was employing confederates to throw off the ever-vigilant security teams that casinos hire to catch card counters. Ben Mezrich's story has all the makings of a Hollywood thriller, complete with sleazy casino bosses, wild parties, and the consequences of living a double life. Buy from Amazon
