"Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions" is about an MIT graduate called Kevin Lewis and another MIT students who was in a Blackjack team and made millions by using their mathematics and card skills. Micky Rosa organized one other team to play it. Conflicts between each other ended this MIT Blackjack Team. Although Mezrich represented it as non-fiction, many of the events didn't really happen in real life. Followed by "Busting Vegas" (2005). The book was adapted into the movie "21". Though I haven't read it, but it seems like this book is terrific :)
