Bringing Down the House


I'm about half way through a book about some kids from MIT that devise a card counting system to beat the odds in Vegas. It's supposed to be non-fiction, but it reads more like maybe it was simply "based" on a true story.

Good, easy read so far. I'm enjoying it...and getting the itch to play backjack and maybe try out the simple "hi-lo" card counting.

So far, I recommend the book.

It's a true story. I didn't know there was a book about it, I'd be interested in reading it
