Briging down the house week 2

In these new chapters i learn that Kevin learned about counting cards and he was introduced to the Vegas lifestyle through his two friends Martinez and Fisher. Martinez is amazingly good at math and finished grad classes by freshman year, and Fisher is a giant, 6'3'' 220. They both are really good at math and both dropped out of school. They still go to MIT though which would confuse you at first but then you learn that its because they are still in the math club which is how they make their money. Martinez and Fisher kind of let Kevin into their secret by telling him to come to a famous boxing match in Atlanta, they also show him a stack of 100's which really surprises him and makes him wonder about his friends. First he thinks they are drug dealers, but then when they arrive in Atlanta he learns that they make their money through blackjack. Martinez and Kevin get picked up in a limo by the casinos owner and later are put in an extremely nice expensive room. they then hit the casinos and Martinez gives Kevin a huge stack of 100's to play with which equal out to 10,000$. Kevin is unsure if he wants to because he doesn't know anything about blackjack, but Martinez reassures him that he will help him. They end up making over 10,000$ and Kevin learns how they can afford such extravagant lifestyles. Martinez and Fisher also teach Kevin the basic strategies they use to make a lot of money.
