Hey gang,

I received a copy of a book in the mail yesterday that we'll be carrying as soon as it is available on September 15th, and I have a feeling that a lot of you are going to be ordering a copy.

The book is a hardcover called Fortune's Formula: The Untold Story of the Scientific Betting System that Beat the Casinos and Wall Street. Yep, it's an entire book about the Kelly betting system! The author has written novels in the past, so the writing flows and the stories I've read so far are captivating, but he's obviously done quite a bit of research and Ed Thorp contributed heavily to the book.

Rather than type out the flap info or the piles of press info I got with the book, here's a link to the publisher's website, and from there is a link to an excerpt. I've already placed an order for the book, but it won't ship out until the 15th, so I'm going to wait a few days before I put it online. BTW, the book is $27 (hardcover, remember, and 386 pages), but you will of course get your 10% DD membership discount when you order.

I wish it was the weekend so I could dive right in!
