Calculated Bets: Computers, Gambling, and Mathematical Modeling to Win


Book Description

This is a book about a gambling system that works. It tells the story of how the author used computer simulations and mathematical modeling techniques to predict the outcome of jai-alai matches and bet on them successfully - increasing his initial stake by over 500 per cent in one year! His results can work for anyone: at the end of the book he tells the best way to watch jai-alai, and how to bet on it. With humor and enthusiasm, Skiena details a life-long fascination with computer predictions and sporting events. Along the way, he discusses other gambling systems, both successful and unsuccessful, for such games as lotto, roulette, blackjack, and the stock market.

Make money with sports betting 1


Book Description

Since 2019 this book exists in German, now finally the English translation of this Buyer exists! Lorenz Laplace succeeded in gaining a fortune of 20,000 EUR quite systematically through sports betting within three years with 1,000 EUR starting capital and many small bets with stakes of 20-50 EUR. Laplace gives tips in easy-to-remember rules: For example, the main betting rule, the tax-favourites rule or the crass-outsider rule. The derivation of these tips is done in an understandable way, and the calculations are very easy to follow. The core of his strategy for betting is based on the following insight: the probabilities for a sporting event cannot be calculated exactly. So, every betting provider errs in setting the odds. Some odds are too low, others are too high for the outcome. It is only necessary to recognise in which direction the betting provider errs, e.g., in favour of the underdog or the favourite. The bettor's error is analysed with the help of a four-point plan, and then the bets are placed, naturally on the events that have received odds that are too high from the bettor.In addition, Lorenz Laplace gives other decisive tips, e.g., how to optimally integrate promotions: Deposit bonuses, free bets, cashback, or combination bet insurance, etc. The book is a must for every betting enthusiast who wants to make long - term profits with betting.




Baseball bets, permanent profit, based on probability theory calculations


Book Description

Dear readers, this book gives you a real opportunity to have a steady income for months, until the end of the sports season, if you strictly follow and follow the strategy offered by me to make bets. This is not just for reading, but a guide to earning a permanent, steady amount of money, as evidenced by the analysis of statistical data and mathematical calculations of probability theory. I am not launching an anti-advertising activity, however, now we can find on the Internet a number of works of authors offering various large winnings. In their systems the risk factor is not considered. Almost all betting e-books, on a 5-star scale, assessed as a work. In many cases, evaluators are people from the author's environment or sponsored by bookmakers and company representatives who benefit from this. In other words, betting e-books are considered to be the promotion of the gambling business and the best way to attract new players, because the bookmaker will win! And here's why one of the sites selling sports betting programs and strategies, which sells very primitive ideas, refused to sell this book. There are no comments. You may think there is nothing like 100 percent, but I would say there is. However, there are sports where some events are unpredictable or hard to predict based on which bookmakers offer pretty high odds which do not always correspond to the likely outcome of the event.As a result of making increasing bets on these events we have a constant benefit, performing tactical details and if necessary, using additional security systems. As for this sport (baseball), throughout the whole league (USA MLB, IL,PCL, Mexico LMB, Japan NPB and South Korea KBO) I observed the performance statistics of these high odds, the probability of events were calculated at any betting stage, as well as before the stage, and were put on an excel file programmed with appropriate formulas. I will thoroughly introduce them for those who are good at math(We will check using the famous Bernoulli formula). This betting strategy was tested simultaneously for 2 years and now I am presenting the results. I am presenting you a unique system on the Internet among the first bets-99,1 % +N1 % +N2 % (I will talk about this further in the text) success ensuring strategy. It is a strategy of sequential betting chains which is both theoretically and practically proven and analyzed by the theory of probability and calculations. Regardless of a particular event outcome, at some point of the chain (ultimately at the end) you will inevitably be the winner. In the system I am offering, you will see the risk size and proofs that in case of long-lasting large number bets you are not at risk. As a result, you have a steady increase in your initial capital, even if one series of bets with a 99.9 % probability does not work. That is, you get a monthly net income of 20-50 and more percent of your money for circulation. For instance, if you have 5000 euros (it's the maximum amount in this system and can be necessary in extreme cases, you will see it later in the table) then your monthly income will be about 1000 euros (relatively smaller benefit is conditioned by the usage of an additional support system), and in case of 3000 euros-the income will be up to 1500 euros depending on the odds. I would like to add that instead of the mentioned sum of 3000 or 5000 Euros, you can fit in the average amount of 1500-2000 Euros (but you need to have 5000 euros for security) and have a net monthly benefit of about 1500 euros (You will understand this from the following sub-titles of the book and from the table). As you understand, the indicated amount of 5000 euros is your bank, and if you want to invest more money, you can have a bank of more than 5000 euros. In this case, you will have a correspondingly large profit. You will need the screen only 2 or 3 times for an about 5 minutes, by the way, mostly after working hours.

Trading Bases


Book Description

An ex–Wall Street trader improved on Moneyball’s famed sabermetrics and beat the Vegas odds with his own betting methods. Here is the story of how Joe Peta turned fantasy baseball into a dream come true. Joe Peta turned his back on his Wall Street trading career to pursue an ingenious—and incredibly risky—dream. He would apply his risk-analysis skills to Major League Baseball, and treat the sport like the S&P 500. In Trading Bases, Peta takes us on his journey from the ballpark in San Francisco to the trading floors and baseball bars of New York and the sportsbooks of Las Vegas, telling the story of how he created a baseball “hedge fund” with an astounding 41 percent return in his first year. And he explains the unique methods he developed. Along the way, Peta provides insight into the Wall Street crisis he managed to escape: the fragility of the midnineties investment model; the disgraced former CEO of Lehman Brothers, who recruited Peta; and the high-adrenaline atmosphere where million-dollar sports-betting pools were common.

The World According to Fannie Davis


Book Description

As seen on the Today Show: This true story of an unforgettable mother, her devoted daughter, and their life in the Detroit numbers of the 1960s and 1970s highlights "the outstanding humanity of black America" (James McBride). In 1958, the very same year that an unknown songwriter named Berry Gordy borrowed $800 to found Motown Records, a pretty young mother from Nashville, Tennessee, borrowed $100 from her brother to run a numbers racket out of her home. That woman was Fannie Davis, Bridgett M. Davis's mother. Part bookie, part banker, mother, wife, and granddaughter of slaves, Fannie ran her numbers business for thirty-four years, doing what it took to survive in a legitimate business that just happened to be illegal. She created a loving, joyful home, sent her children to the best schools, bought them the best clothes, mothered them to the highest standard, and when the tragedy of urban life struck, soldiered on with her stated belief: "Dying is easy. Living takes guts." A daughter's moving homage to an extraordinary parent, The World According to Fannie Davis is also the suspenseful, unforgettable story about the lengths to which a mother will go to "make a way out of no way" and provide a prosperous life for her family -- and how those sacrifices resonate over time.
