4.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat outdated - but then again numbers don't change!, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Caro on Gambling (Paperback)

Some of the essays here are no longer relevant, particularly the section, "The Computer Age" and some of the primers on Poker, i.e. Five Card Draw and Lowball Draw. Conversely, this book will start to teach you how to think about gambling and positive expectation. It is a good introduction to how some concepts of probability are manifest in gambling. The most notable example of this is Caro's Conception, which is rather simple but certainly counter intuitive for most of us at first sight. The article on Poker: Some Things to Consider is also quite good for giving clues as to how to discipline your thought for making decisions while playing.
