Summary:
A group of college students used its math skills to win millions and
life in the fast lane seemed like a sure bet. Slip back to the '80s
and '90s, when a group of overachieving M.I.T. students morphed into
high-rolling, big-stakes gamblers. Backed by anonymous investors,
they checked into hotels under assumed names and, pretending not to
know each other, communicated with secret gestures and code words
inside the casinos. Betting $50,000 a hand, the students racked up
millions in winnings before their ingenious scam folded.
