Clear explanation of probability concepts

What I liked about this book is that the author steps through each of the probability concepts slowly and with examples. He also quizzes you, which helps reinforce the new knowledge. He then tells you what the answer is and explains the reasoning behind the answer. He explains simple probabilities, combined probabilities, combinations and permutations, and probability by combinations. This is a great book! I'll be keeping it as a reference.

The best introduction to probability one could ask for

Each paragraph leads into the next with examples and review of probability concepts. After awhile, you'll discover that you've learned quite a bit without even noticing it, as the book is seamless. Perfect for poker players or anyone who wants to learn how to figure odds. I can't recommend it enough. It was just what I was looking for.
