Just finished reading "Bringing down the house"....great read

[peteep]

I picked up a copy of this book today and finished it just now. I thought it was a great book. Some fascinating tales are told in there. For anyone who doesn't know, it is true story of MIT students who become experts at counting cards and make millions playing blackjack. I highly suggest reading it.

On that note, let me say that the movie

BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE is one of the best films of 2003

Just read it a couple weeks ago - good read. They were one of the most feared teams out there, mostly because of their bankroll size.

Their story is also on CourtTV every once in a while as "The System - Taking Down Vegas". It's pretty good so I recorded it to DVD.

the end of the book was kind of sad, you know, the feeling that all the winning is over

kinda brought a tear to my eye
