review 1: This brilliant book I read through in a 2 hour flight and unfortunately, a two hour delay. It's fast and and easy to read. A few chapters are only a couple pages long.The author deign that people are predictable even when they think they are random. This book touches on sports, stocks, algorithms to find financial fraud, best practices for multiple choice tests, poker, and how to win at Rock Breaks Scissors.This is more of a 4.5 star book, so I'll round up this time.
review 2: I really enjoyed reading this book, but more so the theory and psychology behind the choices make than the "operational" chapters that explains "how to guess". I would definitely recommend this book for the background info and the stories, such as the Outguessing Machine, but would ... moretell people not to expect a ton from the "How to" chapters; you're not going to become rich by "Outguessing the Lottery" less
