About the Author :
Andrew Pole is a Managing Director at TIG Advisors, LLC, a registered investment advisor in New York. He specializes in quantitative trading strategies and risk management.

Review :
"Over time, anything that creates an edge for a particular group of bettors—including the most astute observers of horse flesh—gets factored into the odds and becomes unreliable as a system. That's the classic argument of random walk theorists, and the equally classic response is that there's a lot of money to be made before that factoring is complete. This book is a contribution to that never-ending debate." (Hedgeworld.com)
