Publisher's Synopsis

Learn the tricks of the trade from a gambling and investment legend

The New York Times bestseller

Mathematics professor. Professional gambler. Tech inventor. Hedge fund heavyweight. Bestselling author. Edward O. Thorp is one of a kind.

In a remarkable career, Thorp rose from nothing to become a professor at MIT, invented card counting and the world's first wearable computer, beat the casinos of Las Vegas at blackjack and roulette, then became a bestselling author and a hedge fund heavyweight, ushering in a revolution on Wall Street. Now he shares his incredible life story for the first time, revealing how he made his fortune and giving advice to the next generation of investors. An intellectual thrill ride, replete with practical wisdom, A Man for All Markets is a scarcely imaginable tale of ludicrous success.

'An extraordinary autobiography which reads like a novel.' John Kay, author of Other People's Money
