Book about Las Vegas scam (1 Viewer)

[Jim Daniels]

This is a long shot.

A friend of mine reckons I once told her about a book where the story revolved around these men using their mathematical skills to con casinos in Las Vegas out of piles of money.

She really wants to find this book for some reason.

Any idea what book I could have been talking about?!

I'm pretty sure there's a fair few books about that. She'd need to find out the specific incident.

Bringing Down the House: How Six Students Took Vegas for Millions

I'm sure I heard somewhere that Kevin Spacey has bought the film rights, so go break vegas now before everybody tries to do it when the movie comes out...

It's only kinda good. they tried to make a good narrative out of it, but at the end of the day it's just nerds and numbers, although they did come out with a staggering amount of cash. Very tough read.
