Pace and Cap - Sartin Methodology & The Match Up - View Single Post - New Book: Exotic Betting at the Racetrack by William T Ziemba

After asking on another thread the meaning of a few simple exotic wagering terms, I realized I needed more knowledge. So of course Amazon to the rescue. I found a beginners classic "Exotic Betting: How to Make the Multihorse, Multirace Bets that Win Racing's Biggest Payoffs" by Steven Crist.

That book is now coming, but while evaluating whether to buy it, I ran across another book that is new, and won't be released until February 3, 2019.

The book is big, 488 pages! But more importantly it appears to cover the balance between risk and reward that is a shortcoming of Crist's book according to one reviewer. It is published as part of the World Scientific Series in Finance, so I am guessing the author comes from a Wall Street background. Further guessing the book includes the heavy duty risk/reward math that is part of options trading.

It is available for pre-order. If you're interested, here is the link:

Happy reading,
