Making Millions the Easy Way. Mobsters, detectives and glamorous locations populate the story of a game of cat and mouse between a group of young scientists and the casinos of Las Vegas. A lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA worked out that the odds in blackjack work differently to other games. He developed a system that tipped the odds and set off to Las Vegas with a bankroll from the Mob. But the alarmed casino authorities called science to their aid too. Who was brighter - the MIT whizzkids or the detectives?
