  1. Re:Eudaemonic Pie not Bringing Down the house on A High-tech Wheel of Fortune · · Score: 1

    Thanks ;) I'll have to look into that. All these kinds of books and stories fascinate me. I think it's pretty cool how people come up with this stuff, I mean I was good at math but I don't think I could come up with formula's to describe things the way these guys do .

  2. Bringing Down the house on A High-tech Wheel of Fortune · · Score: 5, Informative

    Anyone ever read the book "Bringing Down the House" by Ben Mezrich? It's an excellent read and follows the theme of this story (people beating the casino / gambling system). I think it's a little bit more sophisticated in that the characters in the book were more involved in social engineering / hacking and weren't reliant on machines to help accomplish their goal. Might be offtopic but I thought people might like to read it. I really enjoyed it :)
