Raceching - The Future is an Anagram (Paperback): Raceching Raceching - The Future is an Anagram (Paperback)
Raceching
R1,073 Discovery Miles 10 730 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Raceching is one of the most innovative and exciting books ever written. Based on the Confucian classic I Ching, it is written in a unique earthy style that is easy to understand and will appeal to all age groups. The author whose name is the same as the book adds his own ground breaking techniques when it comes to showing people how to make everyday predictions by using the Chinese oracle.
Race has included new information in regard to the lines of the I Ching, by describing a series of actions which he calls single line tenses. These are a set of drawings, showing in graphic detail the actions of each and every line of the sixty-four hexagrams, when they move and change into another (moving line).
Raceching shows a new way to form the hexagrams by a simple process of word and letter counting, this is not only easy to operate, but deadly accurate when making predictions. There is also a chapter dedicated to a technique called psychic anagramming, where readers learn a new way to predict the future by looking for hidden words in a person's name.
However, the most exciting feature about Raceching, is that it centres on horse racing and betting. Race shows his readers how to turn their daily morning newspaper racing page into an exciting new word/anagram game that can pick winners and make profit. I Ching hexagrams are constructed from the name/ time of a horse race by a simple process of word and letter counting. We look for a word or words in the name of the horse - matching it with the Raceching book's blueprint of the winner. There are five logical rules race has invented to make this one of the most exciting word games since the birth of the crossword Raceching, canssomething that is similar to what housewives do on big race days, i.e. looking for personalised word names on a race card that means something to them and their intuition, such as the name of a pet or relative's nickname. It all sounds crazy to the form study boys who have backed the favourite until the thing wins at 33/1- and nobody laughs anymore.
Raceching will appeal to not only followers of I Ching, but also anyone who loves horse racing and gaming in general. It will also appeal to people who love making words, anagrams and letter puzzles. It is a dual purpose I Ching book in one.
Raceching the author is an Englishman with an outstanding knowledge of I Ching. He has based his book around the UK racing scene, but it is easily adapted to fit world markets. This book is the first of its kind, entirely innovative and new in relation to other I Ching publications. When Race says the future is an anagram.... he means it

Understanding and Calculating the Odds - Probability Theory Basics and Calculus Guide for Beginners, with Applications in Games... Understanding and Calculating the Odds - Probability Theory Basics and Calculus Guide for Beginners, with Applications in Games of Chance and Everyday Life (Paperback)

Man's daily life is full of decisional situations. Whether we have math skills or not, we frequently estimate and compare probabilities, sometimes without realizing it, especially when making decisions. But probabilities are not just simple numbers attached objectively or subjectively to events, as they perhaps look, and their calculus and usage is highly predisposed to qualitative or quantitative errors in the absence of proper knowledge. That is why a book explaining the probability concept and its interpretations and applications for non-mathematicians is a necessity. This is an enlightening journey through the world of probability theory. Its multiple goals are to help the reader understand what probability really means, to teach the reader how to rigorously perform and apply the probability calculus, even without a solid mathematical background, and to stimulate the reader to go deeper into the notions involved. In the first part, the author tries to build a clear image of the probability concept by reconstructing its mathematical definition step by step through its constituent notions. It starts with a general presentation of the conceptual ensemble word - definition - notion - model any theory is based on when trying to reproduce reality. Then, the probability notion is defined and explained starting from the classical definition to the definition for the countable case; then probability is presented as a limit and as a measure. This book presents not only the mathematical concept of probability, but also its philosophical aspects, the relativity of probability and its applications and even the psychology of probability. All explanations are made in a comprehensible manner and are supported with suggestive examples from nature and daily life and even with challenging math paradoxes. After these points are laid out the math chapter follows. It contains all the notions and principal theoretical results that ground Probability Theory, starting with fundamental notions like Sets, Functions, Boole algebras, and Sequences, and continuing with Measure Theory Basics - Tribes, Borel sets, Measurable spaces, and Measure, ending with Field of events, Sigma-fields, Probability, Conditional probability, Discrete random variables, Classical probability distributions, and Convergence. And, of course, it includes all important theorems and results dealing with them. A special section is dedicated to Combinatorics and combinatorial calculus. Readers with no minimal mathematical background may choose to skip this chapter because the teaching material is structured for developing probability calculus skills based on algorithmic procedures. This is the subject of the chapter titled Beginners' Calculus Guide, in which the reader is taught to apply the properties of probability and to perform calculations in practical applications. The skills acquired here can be practiced on the more than 200 solved and unsolved problems and exercises in the book. Everyone should find something of interest here: philosophers and mathematicians may focus on the sections on philosophical matters of the probability model and decisional matters, students and non-mathematicians can find solid A to Z teaching material about Probability Theory and the practical person can find all the tools needed to apply and perform probability calculus without a teacher.

The book contains never before published roulette information: a revolutionary map of the American roulette wheel head called the Global Pie. The Global Pie Method is an innovative system for memorizing the numbers on the roulette wheel head, used to track ball movement without looking at the roulette wheel head. The roulette table layout reveals ingenious layout strategies using six-pack concepts, and the elusive formula that was used to determine the number sequence of the roulette wheel head.
The Global Pie Method offers a universal language and lingoes. Terms like the "Nuking," "Bow Tie-ing," and "Doing a Hemi" all describe specific ball movements. Other terms define multiple Global Pie strategies: Phoenix, Pendulum, Arrowhead, Hugs and Kisses, Boomerang, Four-Leaf Clover, Clover XXX, and Numbered Partners.
These Global Pie strategies rely on innovative section characteristics to enhance betting strategies and limit the amount wagered to maximize optimum return.
The Global Star System is an independent system designed to track numbers evenly throughout the roulette wheel head. Several Global Star strategies emerge as a result of combining individual stars together: Helicopter, Numbered Partners, Sum Connectors, and Pinwheel.
When combined, the Global Pie Method and the Global Star System, produces a strategy called the Eclipse. The Eclipse is designed to track specific numbers that are due to come in. More importantly, when a Global Pie merges with a Global Star the exact number is revealed.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Canasta was all the rage. Fast forward forty years or so. Canasta is still played, though mostly by people who learned the game more than a generation ago. However, somewhere (I do not know exactly where) someone (I do not know exactly who) decided that Canasta needed to have new life breathed into it, thus this new variation called Hand & Foot. It only takes a quick practice hand to teach the gist of the game. Though it's similarities to Canasta are unmistakable, Hand & Foot is an edgier game that allows players to be more aggressive. Everyone has a strategy, some quite elaborate, others quite generic, but the caveat to each is "if the cards cooperate." The luck of the draw is a variable everyone has to take into account. Among Hand & Foot players there are often heard frustrated sighs and disgusted groans. There is also breathless anxiousness as players sweat out an opponent's turn hoping they will not go out before a "Foot" can be played or a red three can be discarded. Like a spirited game of Monopoly, Hand & Foot tends to bring out elements of personality heretofore unknown among its players, you know, sort of a playful viciousness. It only takes one round of Hand & Foot for a new player to recognize the objectives and basic strategies, .and the opportunities for deviousness. Also, while a veteran player who plays a solid game has a definite advantage, a novice can have fun and even prevail. It cannot be taken for granted that the best and most experienced player at the table will win a game of Hand & Foot. The cards do not always allow that. And there is that adrenaline rush that comes from just barely pulling out a win. It is probably that adrenaline rush that makes the game so addictive. This is why someone who has just played his first game of Hand & Foot will invariably insist on right away playing a second - he thinks he has figured it out. The Essential Hand & Foot for the first time codifies the rules of the game, holding to the common basics and incorporating the best of the regional variations. It also explains why some players consistently win more than others using such ploys as "priming the pump" and the "honey pot," and why picking a pile containing red threes can sometimes be a good thing. When was the last time you had a blast playing cards?
