From the minute I met Jeff Ma, I knew that my life was about to change; a mathematical genius who had turned Vegas upside down with a system that has since made him an international sensation, Jeff taught me more about money in a single neon-laced weekend than I could ever learn from a library full of CEO biographies. A perfect companion to Bringing Down The House, Jeff's book opens a window into a world where high-level statistics mingle with heart-pounding gambling tales. To put it simply- this is a business book like no other you've ever read before., Praise for The House Advantage: 'From the minute I met Jeff Ma, I knew that my life was about to chan≥ a mathematical genius who had turned Vegas upside down with a system that has since made him an international sensation, Jeff taught me more about money in a single neon-laced weekend than I could ever learn from a library full of CEO biographies.

The House Advantage is an urbane blend of human observation and math smarts, business sense and common sense.' - William Poundstone, author of Priceless: The Myth of Fair Value (and How to Take Advantage of It) 'The House Advantage sets the standard for explaining how the use of data and analysis is revolutionizing how businesses and sports teams will be successful in the future. Jeff uses his unique combination of theory and business savvy to illustrate this important trend in a way that is packed with entertaining stories and practical examples to get started. Sports and business executives ignore this ground-breaking book at their peril.' - Daryl Morey, General Manager of the Houston Rockets 'Read Jeff's book if you want to understand what analytics can do for your business.

Synopsis
As part of the notorious MIT Team depicted in Ben Mezrich's now classic Bringing Down the House , Jeff Ma used math and statistics to master the game of blackjack and reap handsome rewards at casinos. Years later, Ma has inspired not only a bestselling novel and hit movie, but has also started three different companies - the latest of which, Citizen Sports, is an innovative marriage of sports, betting, and digital technology - and launched a successful corporate speaking career. The House Advantage reveals Ma's cutting-edge mathematical insights into the world of statistics and makes them applicable to a wide business audience. He argues that numbers are the key to analyzing nearly everything in the world of business, from how to spot and profit from global market inefficiencies to having multiple backup plans in anticipation of every probability. Ma's stories and business lessons are as intriguing as they are universally applicable., From the genius card counter who inspired the hit film 21 and the worldwide bestseller, Bringing down the House, this intriguing book reveals the mathematical secrets behind Jeff Ma's success and how to use his techniques to hit the jackpot in business., As part of the notorious MIT team depicted in Ben Mezrich's now classic Bringing Down the House, Jeff Ma used math and statistics to master the game of blackjack and reap handsome rewards at casinos.

- d***0 (437)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufItem bought: Ocean Ramsey Shark book * Item value for the money 5/5 * Condition matching as advertised 5/5 * Quickly dispatched 5/5 * Arrived on time 5/5 * Shipping cost for this type of item 5/5 * Packaging quality for this item 5/5 * Seller recommendation 5/5 * Communication: NA (not needed as it arrived on time) * Comments: Ty for your business!!
- r***1 (179)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- k***a (326)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufPositive experience but could be better. Item description was accurate but, it was shipped in a simple bag with no carton or any protection. The bag was broken in places and the USPS bent the book like it was a newspaper and ruined what was an excellent looking book. That was clearly the USPS fault but a "Do Not Bend" or carton would help next time. Otherwise accurate description, value, condition and Fast shipping. I'm a returning customer and will keep buying from World of Books
