Man invented a concept that has since been variously viewed as a vice, a crime, a business, a pleasure, a type of magic, a disease, a weakness, a form of sexual substitution, an expression of the human instinct. He invented gambling. A recent surge of interest in the statistical and mathematical theory behind gambling was inspired by the 2008 movie 21, the true story of MIT students who mastered the art of card counting and took Las Vegas casinos for millions in winnings. Richard Epstein's classic book on gambling and its mathematical analysis covers the full range of games from penny matching, to blackjack and other casino games, to the stock market (including Black-Scholes analysis). The book is written at a fairly sophisticated mathematical level. This is not "Gambling for Dummies" or a "how to beat the odds" book, and a background in upper-level undergraduate mathematics is essential to reading and understanding this book.
