Briging down the house week 1

I have not read much of the book so far, but from what i have read i have learned about the main character; Kevin Lewis. Kevin is an MIT student who has finished all his premed things but isn't even going to go to med school, he just finished it to make his dad happy. Kevin in the bulk of his free time and even into some of his school time, counts cards and makes a fortune. The book says that no one really knows how much Kevin really has but they guess that it has to be around 4-5 million that he has made off counting cards. I haver not learned how they actually go about counting cards but i am eager to find out. After watching the movie in Disney, one of my fellow teammates told me that basically it is face cards make the count -1 and every other card makes it +1 except some cards in between. Kevin and his spotters give each other signs to tell each other what the count is and if the table is hot, or, like in the first chapter, signs to get the he11 out(hand through their hair). Kevin is sort of a shy kid in real life(back at MIT), but when hes in Vegas he lets loose, it says that he has partied with people like Kevin Costner, Micheal Jordan, Howard Stern, and Dennis Rodman. Also it tells of how he has to bring the money to and from Vegas, he has to tape the money to his chest, thighs, arms and back and also has to stick some in his pants.
