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 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. 650 7 $a GAMES & ACTIVITIES / Gambling / Table. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a GAMES & ACTIVITIES / Gambling / Sports. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a GAMES & ACTIVITIES / Fantasy Sports. $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Sports betting. 941 $a 1 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20221102012134.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1D6B68F45A7611ED87E8DDB93EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
