I'm reading Fortune's Formula - The Untold Story of the Scientific Betting System that beat the Casinos and Wall Street.
William Poundstone does a nice job giving the reader a sense of history. Some of the people he mentions are familiar from the Boardwalk Empire series on HBO. Still, I didn't know much about Longy Zwillman until reading about him at the start of the book.
I knew of Edward Thorp on the blackjack side but this book talks about him on the roulette side too.
