โฆ Synopsis
I couldn't care less about Jai-lai. It is simply the background the author uses to take us on a journey that wraps gambling, odds, statistics, computers, and mathematical modeling into a totally engrossing book.
Well written, educational, and fun.. I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone interested in computers, math, and beating the odds.
