las matemticas e ir directamente a las secciones que contienen las
aplicaciones, donde l o ella pueden elegir los resultados numricos
deseados de las tablas. El libro no ofrece las tan llamadas
estrategias ganadoras, aunque habla de ellas desde un punto de

jugador cuando apuesta a la ruleta, de acuerdo a factores
matemticos y estrategias personales. Es un manual de ruleta

Fifteen years on from Anthony Holden's undisputed classic BIG DEAL,
the poker world has changed beyond recognition. When Holden played
in the 1988 World Series of Poker there were 167 entrants competing
for a prize of $270,000. At the 2006 WSOP, where this book
climaxes, there were 8773 players and a first prize of some $12
million - the richest in any sport. What happened in the years
between BIG DEAL and BIGGER DEAL is simple: thanks to the Internet
and television there has been a worldwide explosion in the
popularity of poker. The game even has a new respectable image,
much to the disgust of die-hard players. Gone are the seedy, smoky
rooms of the Horseshoe, and celebrities now crowd the tables at
huge Las Vegas tournaments: Martin Sheen, Matt Damon and Ben
Affleck are all dedicated players. In the UK, LATE NIGHT POKER
draws some 2 million viewers (Holden was banned from the last
series for doing too well). In BIGGER DEAL, Holden is your guide -
and the only guide you'll need - to the world of new poker as he
prepares to enter the WSOP once again. Will he win the title? Place
your bets ...

You can't play Major League Baseball and bet on a game; just ask
Pete Rose. Don't try running a betting ring in the NHL, either.
Want the surest ticket out of NCAA sports? Betting's the way to do
it. In stark contrast, however, the United States Golf Association
officially sanctions betting among players during their games. And
it's not just the pros who bet. Every man, out with his buddies,
asks at the first tee, "Shall we make this interesting?" Yet there
has never been a betting scandal in organized golf."Money Golf" is
the first book that tells the complete story of golf's unique
association with wagering and how that relationship evolved. It
features anecdotes from fifteenth-century Scots to Tiger Woods and
all the smooth-swinging flatbellies, movie stars, athletes,
politicians, women golfers, Joe Six-Packs, hustlers, and sharks in
between. It also serves as a primer for novice golf bettors,
providing explanations of Calcuttas (betting auctions),
odds-making, on-course games, and the art and history of golf
hustling. It even highlights movies and books that include golf
wagers, showing that even writers understand the marriage of the
two.Wagering on golf has been part of the game since it migrated to
the United States in 1888. All of the early icons of American golf
bet when they played-Francis Ouimet, Walter Hagen, and Gene
Sarazen. Even Bobby Jones, the simon-pure amateur, wagered on his
game. Sam Snead and Ben Hogan always had a little something on the
side; so did Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Gary Player. Tiger
Woods and Phil Mickelson learned how to bet on golf when they were
little kids. All the personalities, stories, and history of betting
on birdies are included in"Money Golf."
Invitations to John Aspinall and John Burke's illegal gambling
parties were the most sought after in 1950s London - only the
wealthy and well-connected were allowed past their door. When the
police finally arrested them, Aspinall and Burke challenged the law
- and won. As a result gambling was legalised. Which interested
crime boss Billy Hill and his lieutenant Bobby McKew, because
suddenly clubs sprang up everywhere and Billy had a foolproof way
of fixing the cards. He also had his eye on the ultimate prize,
Aspinall's exclusive new club, The Clermont... Revealing for the
first time how Aspinall and Hill plotted to steal a fortune, based
on testimony from Burke and McKew, The Hustlers is a riotous
journey back to 50s and 60s London. With a cast of characters that
ranges from safecracker Eddie Chapman to the reckless Earl of
Derby, from croupier Louis the Rat to unlucky Lord Lucan, it
vividly recreates the exploits of the gamblers and gangsters whose
lives collided in the clubs and pubs of Mayfair. 'a fascinating
glimpse into a bygone world . . . when chemmy parties took London
by storm and toffs were often found to be rubbing shoulders with
gangsters' Daily Express

What are the odds against winning the Lottery, making money in a casino, or backing the right horse? Every day, people make judgements on these matters and face other decisions that rest on their understanding of probability: buying insurance, following medical advice, carrying an umbrella. Yet many of us have a frightening ignorance of how probability works. Taking Chances presents an entertaining and fascinating exploration of probability, revealing traps and fallacies in the field. It describes and analyses a remarkable variety of situations where chance plays a role, including football pools, the Lottery, TV games, sport, cards, roulette, coins, and dice. This new edition has been fully updated, and includes information on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" and "The Weakest Link", plus a new chapter on Probability for Lawyers.
One gambler is a manic former cokehead with an Ivy League degree.
The second is a college dropout trying to make a living at the only
thing he enjoyed at school,gambling. The third, one of Vegas's most
respected bookmakers, is perilously close to burning out. The Odds
follows the lives of these three professional gamblers through a
college basketball season in a one-of-a-kind city struggling to
reconcile its lawless past with its family-friendly makeover. With
a wiseguy attitude and a faultless eye and ear for the sights and
sounds of Vegas and its denizens, Chad Millman has created a
portrait that the Wall Street Journal called "fascinating. . .
often screamingly funny." The Las Vegas Review-Journal had just one
word for the book: "Superb."
Plato said God invented dice. This we learn from one of Ricky Jay's
fascinating essays in a delightful small volume that takes us from
the earliest forms (astragalithe heel bones of hoofed quadrupeds,
four of whose six sides were used for gaming) to the myriad types
of "loading" and other means of cheating with dice in the modern
era. Along the way we discover that Augustus, Caligula, and Nero
were all inveterate players, that Queen Elizabeth issued a search
and seizure order against the manufacture of false dice in 1598,
and that dice made from celluloid, invented in 1869, remained
stable for decades, and thenin a flashbegan to decompose. These are
the dice of Rosamond Purcell's luminous and seductive photographs,
images which transform entropy to an art form. Jay and Purcell give
us a dual meditation on dice that will educate us and amuse us at
the same time. 13 color photographs.
