TOMMY, Not sure but you may be referring to "The Man Who Broke The Bank at Monte Carlo" .... an actual event, a book, and a big hit song a good while back.

But in actuality the "bank" was not the casino's entire money as many people think.

In this case the "bank" was the chips that actually sat on that particular roulette table .... a good amount of funds but not the entire casino bankroll.

There was another book written about a bunch of guys who made a device that fit into a gambler's shoe which allowed some form of communication with a partner outside the casino regarding the procedure to follow to beat the house. 

A very strange way to cheat at blackjack.

Anyone recall the name of that book?

YEA, JON! You can say that, but back then you got a complimentary shave ad a haircut first ..... followed by a free burial in the desert.

Thanks, Doc! Wells was the Monte Carlo guy. I want to know the 'device in the shoe guys' book name.

JON, I didn't post the tenth number. I leave that up to you based on what's happened earlier,

Give it a try.
