Understanding Your Game:
A Mathematician's Advice for Rational and
Safe Gambling
-
Catalin Barboianu - list price $39 -
our price $29 (you save $10)
The primary aim of
this guide is the adequate understanding of the essence and
complexity of gambling through its mathematical dimension.
The guide has entire sections
dedicated to roulette, blackjack, slots, poker, and sport betting;
however, the principles and the associated advice are applicable in
general to all games of chance. A major focus of the work is on
explaining and correcting the classical gambling cognitive
distortions (misconceptions, subjective estimations of
probabilities, the Monte Carlo fallacy, conjunction and disjunction
fallacies, the near-miss effect, illusion of control, and the
misunderstanding of gambling language).
