5.0 out of 5 stars You will love it
Are you a fan of football? Or any other sport? Do you want to look for some interesting links between sports, economics, mathematics, statistics and game theory? Then go for this book. Although I haven't read it completely, I already know that this purchase was a master mind's choice! It's really worth it and you will definitely love it!

2.0 out of 5 stars good book, shame about the typos
The book is an interesting read.

The number of typos in this book is quite unacceptable. There are even glaring mistakes in the chapter titles! No English-speaking person could have proof-read this book. Frankly, this is not good enough. The eBook should come straight from the publisher's electronic text. It should not be OCR'd / scanned from printed copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars freakonomics for football fans, November 7, 2010
I have not read Moneyball, but by the number of references to it, it looks like it covers many of the same themes and/or simply applies them to football.

There are quite a large number of typographical errors in the e-book, which I guess is a problem with the scanning/letter recognition software used. Is there any way of reporting these so that they can be corrected?
