Description: Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description After five weeks on the "New York Times" bestseller list in hardcover, Mezrichs inside story of the young card-counting masterminds who took on Vegas is poised to reach an even wider audience in its new paperback edition. Publisher Description The #1 national bestseller, now a major motion picture, 21--the amazing inside story about a gambling ring of M.I.T. students who beat the system in Vegas--and lived to tell how. Robin Hood meets the Rat Pack when the best and the brightest of M.I.T.s math students and engineers take up blackjack under the guidance of an eccentric mastermind. Their small blackjack club develops from an experiment in counting cards on M.I.T.s campus into a ring of card savants with a system for playing large and winning big. In less than two years they take some of the worlds most sophisticated casinos for more than three million dollars. But their success also brings with it the formidable ire of casino owners and launches them into the seedy underworld of corporate Vegas with its private investigators and other violent heavies. Author Biography Ben Mezrich graduated magna cum laude from Harvard. He has sold over ten million copies of his twenty-four published books, including the New York Times Bestsellers The Accidental Billionaires, which was adapted into the Academy Award-winning film The Social Network, and Bringing Down the House, which was the basis for the hit movie 21.
