Summary:
"A real-life underdog tale of one man turning the tables on the casinos and
Wall
Street
without selling his soul to the devil. All around the world, the words '
Wall
Street
' conjure up a powerful image. For some, it is the center of America's capitalist system and the engine of its economic growth. For others, it is the home of rapacious bankers and reckless traders whose greed would lead to a global financial crisis. For an Indian-born blackjack player,
Wall
Street
represented something else entirely--a chance for him to
play
in the largest casino in the world. Kamal Gupta's improbable journey, from a wide-eyed Indian immigrant to an ultimate insider in the rarefied world of investment banks and hedge funds, is a uniquely American
story
. Nowhere else would it have been possible for a scrawny computer scientist to enter the world of high finance solely on the basis of his gambling abilities. After spending seven years creating an investment methodology, Gupta went on an incredible run, generating an unprecedented 103 consecutive months of positive returns while managing money at large hedge funds. His success did not go unnoticed, and he found himself under constant pressure to take bigger risks to make even more money. He refused and always played it
right
, knowing that there was such a thing as 'enough' money, something very few, if any, of his
Wall
Street
peers understood. Much like Maria Konnikova's bestseller, The Biggest Bluff,
Play
It
Right
isn't so much about money as it is about the human condition and beating the
odds
, whether at a casino, on
Wall
Street
, or in life itself."--From publisher.
