Title: badly written nonsense
Review: These guys must be smart. We know this because we are told sooften. MIT is a great school but the system these guys use is very basic and can be learned by most people in a few hours.They didn't invent a new system or even play it particularlywell.The writing is also horribly cliched and full of inconsistencieswhere the main character,Kevin, magically manages to recount events he can't possibly have been aware of.The book concludes with the statement "We never had a year whenwe returned less than thirty percent to our investors. Finda broker who can say that." Leaving aside the fact that their ownnumbers of hands played, bet sizes and edge would imply a farhigher return than this, anyone with a basic understandingof finance was making a bigger return than this in the midnineties. Maybe they should have gone to a few classes at Sloaneinstead of hanging around casinos telling us how wicked smartthey are?
