What is the theme in Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions by Ben Mezrich?

The major theme of the book is a consideration of the processes used by the blackjack teams to beat the odds while gambling at major casinos. Most editions of the book feature an end-matter section entitled How to Count Cards and Beat Vegas, putatively written by Kevin Lewis. The book does offer many technical methods, but the dominant theme of gaming the game is captured not in a specific methodology but rather an attitude: Las Vegas blackjack gambling can be mastered through a combination of skill, acting, attitude, disguise, teamwork, and luck.
