Calculated Bets
Book • 2001
Calculated Bets tells the story of how Steven Skiena used computer simulations and mathematical modeling to predict the outcomes of jai-alai matches and successfully bet on them, increasing his initial stake by over 500% in one year.
The book explains his system in detail and discusses other gambling systems for games like lotto, roulette, blackjack, and the stock market.
It also covers topics such as program trading systems, Internet gambling, political polling, and the difference between correlation and causation.
Written with humor and enthusiasm, it serves as both a practical guide and an introduction to mathematical modeling and simulation.
