About this Item
Description:
First edition, first printing, with Thorp's characteristically bold signature on the front free endpaper. Thorp and Kassouf leverage their backgrounds in mathematics and economics, as well as electronic computer analysis, to produce a investment model that delivers consistent profits whether the market goes up or down. Much of the work is devoted to the mechanics of the common stock warrant hedge. Dennistoun & Goodman 204; Zerden, p. 130. Octavo. With charts and figures in the text. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover with bar chart design in blind, top edge black. With dust jacket. Minimal bumping to spine ends; light creasing sunning and foxing to unclipped jacket, short closed tear to upper margin of front panel: a fine copy in very good jacket indeed.

Thorp invented card counting, proving the seemingly impossible: that you could beat the dealer at the blackjack table. As a result he launched a gambling renaissance. His remarkable successand mathematically unassailable methodcaused such an uproar that casinos altered the rules of the game to thwart him and the legions he inspired. They barred him from their premises, even put his life in jeopardy. Nonetheless, gambling was forever changed. Thereafter, Thorp shifted his sights to "the biggest casino in the world": Wall Street. Devising and then deploying mathematical formulas to beat the market, Thorp ushered in the era of quantitative finance we live in today. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 221 pages. Seller Inventory # 67966
