Foreword

by Peter L. Bernstein
Author of Against the Gods The Remarkable Story of Risk.

Sam Savage is a rare expositor. He has a killer instinct for the heart of the matter and a fabulous talent for making it fascinating, easy, fun, and, perhaps most important, profitable. You do not have to be any kind of an expert in statistics to use this material, but you will have a hard time becoming an expert without it. My greatest gain has been in widening my horizons toward exciting areas of research I had never considered.
