Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gambling is a significant global industry, which is worth around 0.6% of world trade, that is, around US$ 384 billion; and gambling on the outcome of sports events is a very popular pastime for millions of people around the world, who combine a bet with watching and enjoying their favourite sports. But, like any other human activity, sports betting is open to corruption and improper influence from unscrupulous sports persons, bookmakers and others.

Several chapters deal with the United States of America. This book also includes a review of sports betting under European Union (EU) Law.

The Cardinal recounts his life, speaking of the extraordinary gift of particular friendships he has had, starting with Luigi Giussani, founder of the ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation (CL), and moving on to discuss Hans Urs von Balthasar, Henri De Lubac, and Joseph Ratzinger. A figure who bridges the past three pontificates, Scola discusses his relationships with St. John Paul II, by whom he was nominated a bishop at the relatively young age of forty nine; Benedict XVI, with whom he has had an intense intellectual friendship for decades; and Pope Francis, of whom he speaks with affection and hope"--

Download or read book Thinking in Bets written by Annie Duke and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal bestseller, now in paperback. Poker champion turned decision strategist Annie Duke teaches you how to get comfortable with uncertainty and make better decisions. Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time. There's always an element of luck that you can't control, and there's always information hidden from view. So the key to long-term success (and avoiding worrying yourself to death) is to think in bets: How sure am I? What are the possible ways things could turn out? What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making? Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion turned consultant, draws on examples from business, sports, politics, and (of course) poker to share tools anyone can use to embrace uncertainty and make better decisions. For most people, it's difficult to say "I'm not sure" in a world that values and, even, rewards the appearance of certainty. But professional poker players are comfortable with the fact that great decisions don't always lead to great outcomes, and bad decisions don't always lead to bad outcomes. By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know and what you don't, you'll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, and destructive habits in your decision making. You'll become more confident, calm, compassionate, and successful in the long run.

Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this epistemological volume takes Searle’s ‘simple theory’ and ‘common sense’ realism and builds it from the ground up, applying it to some of the most contentious issues in the philosophy of science. Garry Potter shall also attempt to extent his notions of science and realism beyond the subject boundaries to demonstrate the applicability of both scientificity and realism where such a possibility is perhaps most counter-intuitive: literary criticism. Potter thus presents a unified theory of knowledge.

Download or read book One Hundred Hints for Better Betting written by Mark Coton and published by Aesculus Press Ltd. This book was released on 2002-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Hundred Hints is the long-awaited sequel to Mark Coton's best selling book Value Betting. In Value Betting, Mark concentrated on outlining his unique insights into how to beat the bookmaker; in this engaging and innovative new book, he tells us how to capitalise on those insights, as well as identifying many of the bad habits which often spoil our betting. One Hundred Hints begins with a look into the mind of the professional gambler, then proceeds to examine all stages of the betting process, from preparing selections and assessing value, to the vital matter of accurate and consistent staking. The Hints are interspersed with excerpts from Mark's betting diary kept during the 1993 Flat Season, and with many amusing tales from over fifteen years of serious betting, notably the years Mark spent formulating the ground-breaking Pricewise column in the Racing Post. Refreshingly honest, and written in Coton' s easily-accessible style, One Hundred Hints is part-confession, and part-celebration of the maddening business of betting, and must not be missed by anybody who has ever struck a bet in anger, or intends to in future!
