A story of risk hungry young adults in need of demonstrating mental superiority and gaining a substantial monetary reward for their efforts. Unfortunately, greed gets the better of them, ruining relationships and risking their health. You will find it fascinating the lengths our protagonists go to to keep the dollars flowing as the casinos ramp up their war against the card counters. The dollars must flow, to paraphrase another story, and the ends each take to keep that truism in place will escalate. , Curiously, the native Americans figured a different, much less expensive path to win that war.
