Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions

Theoretically non-fiction, but written so much like fiction that it actually detracts from the book. A gripping story nonetheless re the science of winning at blackjack -- and how some bright MIT students, with the help of a professor, set up teams to make money gambling. The winnings were legal, but dangerous in that casinos can legally exclude anyone they don't want winning too much -- and the exclusion methods can be aggressive.
