Blackjack Theory: Bringing down the House

I finished reading Ben Mezrich's "Bringing down the house - How six students took Vegas for Millions." [Amazon UK, Amazon.com] Good book, I enjoyed it. It is the gripping true story of a group of MIT math geeks who by working as a team gain an edge playing blackjack in casino's throughout the U.S., and who use that edge to make millions of dollars. From the high points of riotous weekends where they make hundreds of thousands to low points which see them barred from tables, banned from establishments and intimidated from cities and states the book sweeps you along with the players, learning about the industry and learning more about human nature. Definitely recommended.
