21 : Bringing Down The House

I have recently started this book so I'm not that far into it, but I can already tell I am really going to enjoy this one. It starts of with a nervous college student flying on a plane with thousand of dollars cash strapped all over him. He is quite anxious to get this ordeal over with. We then find out that this whole process is about a selective group of the brightest MIT students who have decided to beat the game of blackjack.

These students have slowly been taking millions from vegas working as a group, and so far have been successful. With different body language and certain gestures these students can have full conversations and relay the 'count' to other members of the team near by. The count is the number of high cards likely to show up in the deck the more high cards, the bigger bets you place. So in the end, all they are hoping for some big wins. These college kids seem to have beaten the game of blackjack, but will it come at a price?
