Bringing Down the House

Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich

The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions.

Upon picking up this book, I knew little about the M.I.T. Blackjack team and what they did. I had heard stories of how they were very good at what they did and made some money, but I had absolutely no clue to what extent they had taken it.

Ben Mezrich cleared this all up. His great story telling takes the reader through the ins and outs of this operation, from smuggling hundreds of thousands of dollars in casino chips and cash through airport security to living a double life; work Mon-Fri, 9-5 and making millions of dollars on weekends.
