All about stats

A wise man once said the only constant in life is change, a sentiment I couldn’t agree with more. What is important in gambling is to try to do to stay one a step ahead of a constantly shifting playing field, and like other pro’s, stay one step ahead of the competition.

One can only imagine what it must have been like for the Doyle Brunson’s and Tony Bloom’s of this world, trying to make a living before the internet boom. No pokerstove, powerful computer simulations or live asian market feeds. Despite this, they still managed to use the tools they had at hand to gain an edge over the house, an advantage a gambler must possess to be a consistent winner.

Nowadays large amounts of statistics are readily available. It’s not rocket science to know that the statistics by themselves are meaningless, how you apply statistics to logically solving a problem is where the money is.
