I started listening to the audio book Bringing Down the House while working in the yard this weekend. As the subtitle suggests, it is “The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions.” I was immediately captivated by this true story. The participants used relatively simple analytical techniques to “count” cards and bet big when the count was in their favor. This book reads (or is a great listen) like a thrilling fiction novel. I drove my car around the block twice tonight to allow the iPod to finish a chapter.

An abridged version is available at Amazon. I downloaded the unabridged version from my local library account at NetLibary. That version is published by Recorded Books.
