Riveting! Well written, well read, and especially for those of us who are not high rollers, it was an eye-opening look at that part of casino industry. The absolute gall and guts it took to pull off (and not pull off, but then try somewhere else) the huge winnings in spite of the security of the casinos, well, it could only take "kids" like these.
This is a great story I look forward to more of Ben's books. This is not the classic MIT blackjack team this is a very unique story about a few of the elites in it that actually cheated, not counting cards, but full on cheating.
Surprisingly good story, this one impressed me. This would make a great Hollywood movie, action packed and good characters. Fast paced. Almost hard to believe at times.
If you're a self acclaimed nerd like me you'll love how this group of kids were able to outwit the kings of Vegas and beyond. Some of the non-math stunts seem a little far fetched, but still a great fast paced story!
This was by far the most addictive audio book I have gotten; I did want to leave my car. I highly recommend this one for anyone who wants to listen to a suspenseful true story. I do want to mention that the beginning of this book is a bit awkward and a little hard to follow but stick with it, it gets a whole lot better.
