It's called "taking chances, winning with probability" by John Haigh. I've been interested in probability for a while and we haven't covered it at school... So anyone read this?

You haven't covered probability at your school? Exactly how old are you?

Probability was my easiest subject.

this statement is probably correct.

which reminds me: 60 percent of the time, it works every time.

There is a 0% chance that I read this book.

That doesn't make any sense...

I'm 18, the last math course I finished was cal 2. We did integration and series in it, nothing on probability. This is the last required course in my program (pure science) before I go to university, except for linear algebra. Cal 3 is option but I don't know if im gonna take it.
