Praise for The Perfect Bet : "[ THE PERFECT BET is] terrific: beautifully written, solidly researched and full of surprises. It's also practical. Even if you don't spend time at Las Vegas you'll be surprised by the clarity it will bring to your day." -- New York Times Numberplay blog "Kucharski delivers a fascinating read." -- Publishers Weekly "A lucid yet sophisticated look at the mathematics of probability as it's played out on gaming tables, arenas, and fields... gamblers and math buffs alike will enjoy it for its smart approach to real-world problems." -- Kirkus Reviews "Kucharski does a remarkable job of telling the story of how gambling has influenced science and science has influenced gambling. He manages to make it a good read while providing a scholarly underpinning." --J. Doyne Farmer, Director of the Complexity Economics program at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School "This book contains so many great stories of how smart people have used maths, statistics and science to try and beat the odds--legally. It almost, but not quite, makes me want to take up gambling." --David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk, University of Cambridge "With an entertaining writing style, Adam Kucharski guides us through the history and state of the art of The Perfect Bet , showing us how mathematics and computers are used to come up with optimal ways to gamble, play games, bluff, and invest our money. Extremely well-written and carefully researched. I highly recommend it." --Arthur Benjamin, Author of The Magic of Math: Solving for X and Figuring out whY "In The Perfect Bet , Adam Kucharski takes us on a wild ride through the history, psychology, mathematics, and technology of gaming--a remarkable look behind the curtain of what most people think is intuitive, but isn't." --Paul Offit, author of Bad Faith and Autism's False Prophets, Praise for The Perfect Bet : "An elegant and amusing account...Anyone planning to enter a casino or place an online bet would be advised to keep this book handy." -- Wall Street Journal "[ THE PERFECT BET is] terrific: beautifully written, solidly researched and full of surprises.
