Title: The mathematics are completely wrong!
Review: The expected value of the outcome of the sum of two dice is 7.0. Anybody that plays craps knows this. If you roll one die, you expect 3.5 (if you average the outcomes in the long run). To illustrate, in the long run you expect one of each kind of outcome: 1+2+3+4+5+6 / 6 = 3.5.He derives the expected value of the sum of two dice to be just over 8.0. He does this by counting the odds of rolling a 5-5 to be 1/18 and not 1/36. Since all the doubles were by accident counted twice, it throws his calculation off.Then he bases his strategy on this phony result. What do you think about the quality of the book?
