Description
Bringing Down the House tells the true story of six students who used advanced mathematical techniques to win millions from casinos and blackjack tables in Las Vegas. Their scheme, which involved tracking card counts, was seen as cheating by the casinos but not by the law.
The book is a fascinating account of how these young mathematicians and physicists got drawn into a world of high-stakes gambling, excess, and corruption. It's a story that's both readable and engaging, making it comparable to other notable works on similar themes.
