Monte Carlo or Bust: Simple Simulations for Aspiring Sports Bettors
by Joseph BuchdahlAlmost everyone is familiar with Monte Carlo's association with gambling, and its famous Casino. Many may also have come across the Monte Carlo fallacy, so-called after the Casino's roulette wheel ball fell on black 26th times in a row, costing players, who believed that the law of averages made such streaks impossible, millions of dollars. However, the Casino also lends its name to a tool of statistical forecasting, the Monte Carlo simulation, used to model the probability of uncertain outcomes that cannot be easily predicted from mathematical equations.This book provides a detailed account for how aspiring sports bettors can use a Monte Carlo simulation to improve the quality, and hopefully profitability, of their betting, and in doing so unravels the mystery of probability and variance that lies at the heart of all gambling.Praise for Joseph Buchdahl'Joseph delivers on his promise to familiarise anybody with an interest in betting or investing with the workings of the betting mind through an abundance of practical examples' - Pinnacle'Ranks amongst the more important books on sports betting' - Betfair Pro Trader

by Mike MassiminoWhen you think of a NASA astronaut, the image that probably comes to mind is one of the charismatic, athletic hero, ready to take on the stars.

Now, he uses his experience to bring readers valuable, actionable and entertaining advice for how to get back up and make possible the seemingly impossible.Moonshot shares Massimino's hard-earned lessons and how to apply them in work and life.

In doing so, Foer shows how we can all improve our memories.'Captivating ... engaging ... smart and funny' The New York Times'Delightful ... uplifting ... it shows that our minds can do extraordinary things' Wall Street Journal'Great fun ... a book worth remembering' Independent'A lovely exploration of the ways that we preserve our lives and our world in the golden amber of human memory' New Scientist
The Moral Molecule: the new science of what makes us good or evil
by Paul J. ZakHuman beings can be so compassionate. They can also be shockingly cruel. What if there was a master control for human behaviour? Switch it on and people are loving and generous. Switch it off and they revert to violence and greed. Pioneering neuroeconomist Paul J. Zak has discovered just such a master switch: a molecule in the human brain.Zak’s colleagues call him Dr Love. They also call him the vampire economist. He and his research team have travelled from his laboratory in California to the jungles of Papua new Guinea via a summer garden in Devon, taking blood from people as they attend a wedding, make decisions with money, play football on the field, even jump from an aeroplane. Their experiments to measure a chemical in the bloodstream called oxytocin reveal the answers to those mysteries about why we make the decisions we do: why we are sometimes rational, at other times irrational; why men cheat more than women; how the moral molecule operates in the market place, and most importantly, once we understand the moral molecule, how we can consciously use it to make our lives better.
