Customer Reviews

Ziemba present the facts for a case a lot of people refuse to believe

Ziemba's book is thorough and convincing my initial trials of the system show that even today it can be effective in "beating the market" it is clearly written and elucidated, however college level mathematics knowledge makes it easily accessible, to people without tertiary level maths may find it hard going. I personally thoroughly congratulate Dr Z and love his work!

Track Classic

War & Peace, Wuthering Heights, Beat the Racetrack...a list of classic books. Beat the Racetrack reviews market inefficiencies associated with place and show betting. Empirical formulas for evaluating inefficiency and sizing bets are given. Guidelines for conditions where bets are not recommended are made. The book reviews similar studies by other statisicians and refines their work. This book really does not detail how to select winners or bet in exotic pools. The book specializes in place and show betting. Watch out that you either receive the detachable charts in the back of the book or you will need to program some quadratic formulas. This title routinely sells for multiples of the list price.
