Semi-strong market efficiencies studied, 13 Mar 2005
By Fred Corsiglia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Science of Winning: A Random Walk Along the Road to Investment Riches (High Stakes: Gambling) (Paperback)
Science of Winning is written for students of probability and their applications in the stock market and pari-mutuel wagering. The author, Fabricand, draws some great analogies in semi-strong market efficiencies for both market with a conclusion that "new information" is a barrier to complete efficiency. The book then goes into analysis of how to take advantage of the inefficiencies, particularly as they apply to favorites in horse racing and stocks with surprisingly strong earnings reports. Toward horse racing, some rules, which read as if written by a lawyer, are presently and some analyses are presented to support the rules.
This book is entertaining. This book may be an aid to your objectives for profitability. I think the book over simplifies some approaches (e.g. technical analysis and computer handicapping). This is classic in that it was originally written in 1977 and now, 28 years later, this book remains in print.

Venerable book for the library., 26 April 2011

This review is from: The Science of Winning: A Random Walk Along the Road to Investment Riches (High Stakes: Gambling) (Paperback)
He does give a bunch of rules which need investigation.
The sections on other markets are interesting and timeless - but I guess with the advent of betting exchanges it might need to have some new material added.
