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

As the title explains, this is the story of some MIT grads, who took Las Vegas casinos for a ride. They used probability theory, which is quite popular now (the ho-lo trick in blackjack), and the entire team, made millions at the casinos. This story is all about how the team was formed and how they made it big, before their secret was compromised. The first half is a little drag but the second half is quite gripping. It is hard to put the book down once you start the second half. The writing style is not very appealing, but the story itself moves fast.

Well, it is still hard to believe that this is a non-fiction book. I strongly feel that some of the facts may have been exaggerated to the length of the book. But I believe, it is consoling to know that most of is probably non-fiction. I recommend this book for some fun. There may be more books in the "fiction" section of your library that gives more adrenaline rush, but this is pretty darn good!
