- Abstract:
The article focuses on statistician writer Nate Silver and his efforts in studying different types of gamblers or professional risk-takers as reported in his book "On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything." It informs about Silver's use of an election model to create an account of the gambling industry, particularly gambling patterns, to provide a framework for understanding professional sports gamblers and raise concern about what he calls as hypercommitted casino capitalism.
