Published originally more than 20 years ago, this title became accepted immediately as a must-read for those interested in probability and gambling. (A reader needs some high school algebra to handle Packel's concepts.) The author covers in part: the probability concept: dice, cards, roulette; backgammon; chuck-a-luck; permutations; combinations and applications: factorials, poker probabilities; keno-type games; the binomial distribution, beating the odds: the "law" of averages; betting systems, a brief blackjack breakthrough; elementary game theory, zero sum and non-zero-sum games; the gambler's ruin. Reprinted 8 times, this is the REVISED edition that includes bluffing in poker (related to hold'em), and includes internet sites related to game exercises. 192 pages, hardbound, 2006.
