What's Luck Got to Do with It?: The History, Mathematics, and Psychology of the Gambler's Illusion
Joseph Mazur
Why do so many gamblers risk it all when they know the odds of winning are against them? Why do they believe dice are 'hot' in a winning streak? Why do we expect heads on a coin toss after several flips have turned up tails? This book takes a look at the mathematics, history, and psychology of gambling to reveal various misconceptions about luck.
