Book excerpt: As part of the notorious MIT Team depicted in Ben Mezrich's now classic Bringing Down the House, Jeff Ma used math and statistics to master the game of blackjack and reap handsome rewards at casinos. Years later, Ma has inspired not only a bestselling novel and hit movie, but has also started three different companies—the latest of which, Citizen Sports, is an innovative marriage of sports, betting, and digital technology—and launched a successful corporate speaking career. The House Advantage reveals Ma's cutting-edge mathematical insights into the world of statistics and makes them applicable to a wide business audience. He argues that numbers are the key to analyzing nearly everything in the world of business, from how to spot and profit from global market inefficiencies to having multiple backup plans in anticipation of every probability. Ma's stories and business lessons are as intriguing as they are universally applicable.

This pivotal moment marked the beginning of the city's transformation into the entertainment capital of the world. Over the decades, Las Vegas has evolved into a sprawling metropolis, attracting millions of visitors each year with its promise of excitement, glamour, and endless possibilities.

From world-class dining by celebrity chefs to extravagant shows featuring renowned performers, every corner of this city exudes an atmosphere of indulgence and entertainment. Yet, Las Vegas is more than just bright lights and entertainment. It is a city with a rich history and a vibrant local community. Beyond the glitz of the Strip, neighborhoods like Fremont East and Chinatown showcase a different side of Las Vegas, with eclectic eateries, art galleries, and cultural experiences waiting to be explored. In recent years, Las Vegas has also emerged as a hub for conventions and conferences, drawing professionals from various industries to its state-of-the-art convention centers and meeting spaces.
