This book is a must read for all who deal with polls. If probabilities interest you at all, this is one of the better books.The book is well written and quite humorous. There is even a section for everyone in basic desision making based on the probability of events. You will have a hard time putting this book down.

I love books like this! I saw this one, browsed through it a bit and bought it right away because it looked very good – it was. I can confidently say that this is one of the best books of its type. The author explains, in very clear language, the nature of probability and its use in understanding some of the many areas in everyday life that could otherwise remain very obscure or misunderstood. The topics covered include gambling games and methods, the ways casinos operate (this may be very surprising to many), card games and strategies, pre-election polls, certain game shows, the war against spam, weather prediction, and many other areas where probability plays a key role. The author, an expert in the field, writes very well and in such an engaging and often humorous style that the book is almost impossible to put down. Those who read this book will understand a bit more about how the world that we live in actually works. I highly recommended this book to everyone!!
