I was not disappointed. This quick and compelling read tells the story of a group of MIT students who find a mathematical formula for beating the odds at blackjack. What they didn't consider, however, was that the casinos across the world would be less-than-excited by their high-risk ventures. Although I am not a gambler, I did find this fascinating! (What happens in Vegas clearly doesn't stay in Vegas.) <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/132484?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
