May be the most fascinating book written on blackjack counting teams since the days of Ken Uston, who died in 1987. Mezrich gained the trust of a half-dozen MIT students and covers a four-year period when the team was in its heyday (1994 to 1998), winning big and escaping the clutches of casino management with minimum damage. But the strength of the book is in his astute observations of how Las Vegas compares to Atlantic City, and what the casino mentality is with regard to attracting players and high rollers, including whales, and how surveillance systems operate. 257 Pgs. 2003
