Reviews: Bringing Down the House

November 27, 2004

Bringing Down the House

The second book I've read on cheating casinos (the first, "The Newtowian Casino" is also a cracking good read). It chronicles a team of mathematicians from MIT who join actors and cardcounters to make a mint from Blackjack. A true story, it's a compelling read, and particularly interesting as it goes into detail of the methods used (these have largely been beaten now by changed practices at casinos, so don't get any ideas!).
