In the modern world the theory of probability is used extensively
in mathematics, science, engineering, medicine and, of course,
gambling. A proposition bet is one that involves the use of
probability -both estimated and actual -where an individual makes
an apparently attractive bet to someone who is easily deceived by
the odds, which are at first glance in his favor. The Book of
Proposition Bets gathers together, and reveals the true mathematics
behind, over 50 classic and original proposition bets. From the
famous Three Card Monty (really an exercise in the Monty Hall
Paradox), to probabilities based on rolling dice and pulling
playing cards, or whether or not a mark can guess 3 correct digits
of a one dollar bill's serial number (spoiler: the odds are against
it), author Owen O'Shea here compiles a fascinating and engaging
survey of prop bets. In addition, Part 2 of the book contains a
brief history of the theory of probability and some examples of
cons and scams perpetrated on the general public to this day around
the world, (plus a few more mathematical proposition bets!).
Whether to learn the intricacies used by hustlers, or borrow a
couple of tricks for yourself, we wager that there is a high
probability that readers will enjoy this entertaining and
illuminating book!

incredible than anything he has done before. At first glance,
spiroglyphics appear to be nothing but simple spirals. But if you
look a little closer you'll see that the spiroglyphics are in fact
two spirals, joined at the middle, and varying subtly in width as
they wind to the centre. It's only when you pick up a pen and start
to colour them that they come alive. As you fill in the lines
you'll find yourself creating surprising, eye-popping portraits of
musical icons such as: * David Bowie * Michael Jackson * Amy
Winehouse * Beyonce * Elton John Fun to create and amazing to look
at, the Spiroglyphics will blow your mind, and make amazing
artworks for your wall!
