A thoroughly-entertaining real-life how-to on beating the casinos at their own game (NOTE: many of the techniques used here may no longer work -- casino owners know how to read books, too). The authors made millions all across the country, then told this tale. Wow.

The story of how these MIT students mastered a foolproof method for card counting got my husband into reading. Yeah! I did skim a few parts, but was enthralled at the system they developed and the extreme success they experienced for a long time.
