Gamblers have been trying to figure out how to game the system
since our ancestors first made wagers over dice fashioned from
knucklebones: in revolutionary Paris, the 'martingale' strategy was
rumoured to lead to foolproof success at roulette ; today,
professional gamblers are using cutting-edge techniques to tilt the
odds in their favour. Science is giving us the competitive edge
over opponents, casinos and bookmakers. But is there such a thing
as a perfect bet? The Perfect Bet looks beyond probability and
statistics to examine how wagers have inspired a plethora of new
disciplines - spanning chaos theory, machine learning and game
theory - which are not just revolutionising gambling, but changing
our fundamental notions about chance, randomness and luck.
Explaining why poker is gaming's last bastion of human superiority
over AI, how methods originally developed for the US nuclear
programme are helping pundits predict sports results and why a new
breed of algorithms are losing banks millions, The Perfect Bet has
the inside track on any wager you'd care to place.
