Peter Griffin, renowned gambling mathematician and author of The Theory of Blackjack, has explored the mathematics of gambling for more than two decades.

You'll also find book reviews, quizzes, letters to the editors of gambling periodicals--a virtual kitchen-sink-full of gambling information found nowhere else. Extra Stuff: Gambling Ramblings is packed with mathematics, but Griffin's easy style accommodates most readers. Gamblers of all levels of experience will come away with an enhanced understanding of casino games.
