Semyon Dukach was known as the Darling of Les Vegas. A legend at age twenty-one, this cocky hot-shot was the biggest high roller to appear in Sin City in decades, a mathematical genius with a system the casinos had never seen before; that has nothing to do with card counting, wasn't illegal, and was more powerful than anything that had been tried before. Vegas, Atlantic City, Aruba, Barcelona, London, and the jewl in the crown, Monte Carlo - Dukach and his fellow MIT students hit them all and made millions. In the classroom, they were geeks. On the casino floor, they were unstoppable. This is their unbelievably true story - a reveting account of greed, excess, hubris, sex, love, violence, fear, and statistics.
