Title: Seduced by a gambling system
Product review: One thing that many people in mathematics get 'seduced' byis the idea of winning at gambling with a 'system'.Since mathematics is really a very 'poor' areaof scholarship, the temptation is great, since card counting actually worksto beat the house odds.But as some learn too late, the 'house' takes a very dim ( leg breaking)view of card counters. This movie of a young man headed for disasterand banning from major table gambling is hard for me to watch.A gambling addiction is one of the worst diseases that you can have...But money does strange things to people, makes friends into enemiesand lovers into something wildly different. Then brown thingsstart flying around...
