What Are the Odds? by Orkin

This book is a goldmine if you are seeking to beat the house on a bet. The author provides practical strategies for understanding randomness, the chaos theory and payoff matrices. There is an extensive discussion on how the house wins and the frequency of winnings. The book provides a transition strategy for profiling chaos in a deterministic fashion. It is a good value for readers interested in the practical implementation of the laws of probability in everyday life.
