I was browsing on amazon for books on sports betting and came across a book called Trading Bases by Joe Peta. He's a hedge fund guy using risk analysis to get an edge. He started a sports betting hedge fund that returned 41%. In the summery it talks about getting a winning edge by subtracting luck and "luck clustering". Anyone heard of this or know anything about it? Sounds fishy to me but I'm no expert either.

Sounds like a smart guy who is even better at lying.

Amazon review : Not a sports book, not a gambling book. The author has an ego out the roof. Couldn't stand to read it. Forced myself through a couple chapters and that was all I could take.
Of course if I could make an annual return of 41%, I'd write a book too. YEAH !

Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet

I hear that one of the best ways to make money from gambling is to sell books describing sure-to-win betting systems.
May the cards fall in your favor.
