Chance: A Guide to Gambling, Love, the Stock Market and Just About Everything Else

Our friends at Avalon Publishing sent us over a copy of Chance: A Guide to Gambling, Love, the Stock Market and Just About Everything Else.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. We all aren’t math geeks, but if you are doing any kind of gambling, you need a primer on how probability is computed. There isn’t anything in here that is going to help you put together the system to beat all systems, but if you slept through Statistics 101 while gambling away your student loans, you may uncover a few nuggets that will get you thinking before lay another foolish wager.

Additionally, if you are concerned about jumping into an over-your-head tome on statistics, think again. The author does an excellent job of breaking it down into easy to understand examples.
