I just finished reading this book(true story) about M.I.T. students who took casinos for millions of dollars by counting cards at blackjack. I highly recommend this book. I started it and couldn't put it down.

Best book I have ever read. You won't be able to put it down. Don't want to give anything away but it is a must read.

Nice to see Gambling themed books do well. Hopefully this will lead to more of them getting published.

True it was a solid book and a quick read..but i thought it ended kind of abruptly and was somewhat anticlimatic..i still reccomend it though....they are also in the works to make this book into a movie according to ABC Primetime

Agree it was an entertaining book, and I really enjoyed it.

I know the book is non-fiction, but I've heard there's been some criticism of it as far maybe taking some "liberties" with the truth in order to make the story more appealing for a movie deal, which I see is apparently already in the works.

I'm not a BJ player...any players out there that have read the book care to comment on how accurate the story sounds as it was written?

Just seemed to me that the MIT group got away with an awful lot for a longer period of time that would seem likely.
