Bringing Down the House

Bringing Down The House : The Inside Story Of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas For Millions, Ben Mezrich; Free Press“Recounts the story of how a notorious gang of MIT blackjack savants devised and received backing for a system for winning at the world’s most sophisticated casinos, an endeavor that earned them more than three million dollars.”
Robin’s Note: Bringing Down the House is another competition/sports-related title that’s high on action and well-written (and, of course, there’s the particular fun of knowing it’s all true.) If you like heist movies or the satisfaction of a well done prank, this book will appeal.
