For values of True Story that equal highly fictionalized and loosely based on truth. Or as a friend of mine who spent ten years running the MIT team said, "Ben Mezrich never let truth get in the way of a story."
If you're interested in gambling stories, The Professor, The Banker, And The Suicide King is very good. It's about Texas billionaire Andy Beal and how he took on the world's top poker pros. I belivee it is as accurate as any such story can be.
