"Sports fans will learn much from probability theory and
statistical models as they abandon empty clichés (time to throw
momentum out of the informed fan's lexicon) and confront
institutionalized injustices (such as those built into the
protocols for selecting a national champion in college football and
for seeding the NCAA's basketball tournament). A rare fusion of
sports enthusiasm and numerical acumen."
*Booklist*
"Who is Wayne Winston? Maybe we should begin by telling you who he
is not. He is not some barstool fan or uninformed sportswriter who
fuels his opinions with information gleaned from SportsCenter
highlights or newspaper box scores. He is a professor of decision
sciences at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, and
until this year was the statistical guru for the Dallas Mavericks.
He is author of the book Mathletics, which explains what statistics
really tell us about sports."---Ken Berger, CBSSports.com
"[A] terrific read for anyone trying to model markets statistically
and make trading decisions based on statistical data. . . . Reading
Winston's book is a mind-opening experience."---Brenda Jubin,
Reading the Markets blog
"[Huge] and highly interesting."---Mathematics Magazine, Paul J.
Campbell
"Fascinating."---Peter Hall, The Mathematical Gazette
