Product Description
This book addresses many of gambling's abstract concepts-proportional wagering, considerations for games with variable payoffs, the effects of rebates on losses-as well as more mainstream subjects, such as the casino's treatment of hold percentages and analyses of gambling systems. Although packed with mathematics, Griffin's easy style accommodates most readers. Gamblers with all levels of experience will have an enhanced understanding of the games.
About the Author
Peter Griffin teaches mathematics and statistics at California State University, Sacramento. He is interviewed frequently on radio, television, and in newspapers regarding probabilistic matters, particularly those associated with casino gambling and the lottery. Griffin served as the election eve statistical consultant for United Press international throughout the '80s, and is believed to hold the world record for rope jumping by a gambling theorist-more than 400,000 without a miss.
