Thereafter Thorp shifted his sights to the biggest casino in the world Wall Street Devising and then deploying mathematical formulas to beat the market Thorp ushered in the era of quantitative finance we live in today Along the way the so called godfather of the quants played bridge with Warren Buffett crossed swords with a young Rudy Giuliani detected the Bernie Madoff scheme and to beat the game of roulette invented with Claude Shannon the world s first wearable computer

Praise for A Man for All Markets
In A Man for All Markets Thorp delightfully recounts his progress (if that is the word) from college teacher to gambler to hedge fund manager Along the way we learn important lessons about the functioning of markets and the logic of investment The Wall Street Journal
Thorp gives a biological summation (think Richard Feynman s Surely You re Joking Mr Feynman ) of his quest to prove the aphorism the house always wins is flawed Illuminating for the mathematically inclined and cautionary for would be gamblers and day traders

An amazing book by a true icon Edward O Thorp launched revolutions in Vegas and on Wall Street by turning math into magic and here he weaves his own life lessons into a page turner as hot as a deck full of aces Loved it Ben Mezrich New York Times bestselling author of Bringing Down the House and The Accidental Billionaires
Whether you are an aspiring professional player a casual gambler or an occasional visitor to Las Vegas you can feel the impact of Edward O Thorp s intellect on that desert city Nicholas G Colon professional advantage gambler and managing director Alea Consulting Group
This book is in part the gripping story of how one man s genius and dedication has solved so many problems in diverse fields But more important it s a fascinating insight into the thought processes of someone with little interest in fame who has mostly stayed under the radar yet who has followed his inquisitive mind wherever it has led him and reaped the resulting rewards Paul Wilmott founder Wilmott magazine
