Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions | Ben Mezrich

#IdiomInsight

Although the idiom #DownForTheCount is sports metaphor that expresses a negative outcome for whoever or whatever the speaker is referencing, for some reason it made me think of counting cards & laying them down.

I chose this book & “21” the movie made from it where 6 MIT math students used counting cards in Blackjack to get more than 3 million $$$ from Vegas casinos. ♠️♥️♣️♦️

#IdiomInsight Day 9: The only survivor of a family trauma / tragedy inevitably feels #DownForTheCount in this atmospheric novel where setting and weather almost play like another character. Brooding, grim, and haunted. I am loving this #EuropaCollective pick for the month of September. 💕
