4.0 out of 5 stars What Are the Odds? by Orkin, August 14, 2004
This review is from: What Are the Odds? Lotteries, Blackjack, Zero-Sum Games, and More (Hardcover)
This book is a goldmine if you are seeking to beat the house
on a bet. The author provides practical strategies for
understanding randomness, the chaos theory and payoff matrices.
There is an extensive discussion on how the house wins and
the frequency of winnings. The book provides a transition
strategy for profiling chaos in a deterministic fashion.
It is a good value for readers interested in the practical
implementation of the laws of probability in everyday life.
