Abstract

Nate Silver, known for his accurate election forecasting, has written a new book called "On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything." In the book, Silver explores the world of professional risk takers, including gamblers, card counters, and venture capitalists. He emphasizes that playing slot machines is not a wise choice due to their high negative expected value. Silver's game of choice is poker, and he also discusses his experiences with online gambling and his concerns about the gambling and AI industries. Overall, the book provides insights into the world of risk-taking and its implications in various fields. [Extracted from the article]
