These are really bold guys who know how to apply math. Working as a team, they came up before the casinos got wise and banned card counters, but had a good run for several years in the late 1990s.
The story is told in short, punchy chapters about events in Boston, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, etc. from a given time in the past to the present day. The author gets to work as 'an extension of Kevin's bankroll.' Realism!
It includes a short chapter on How To Count Cards and Beat Vegas by Kevin Lewis. "Blackjack is the only game in the casino that is beatable over an extended period of time, because blackjack is subject to continuous probability. This simply means that what you see affects what you are going to see.
Blackjack is a game with a memory."
No index, so I reduce my evaluation by one star.
