He said 17:1 instead of saying 1 out of 17. Big deal.

It is a big deal because of why he said it. And he goes on to prove his lack of understanding with his 9-1 comment. And he didn't just say it. He WROTE it.

Both of the two above posters who dismiss his mistake could certainly do a better job than Ciafonne in writing about poker. Why do they feel the need to downplay his errors? Keep in mind that many readers are not knowledgeable enough to recognize these mistkes. When they see these numbers they will not only believe them but might be led into the same conceptual error that Ciaffone made. Don't you think it is wrong to portray yourself as an expert if you don't know simple stuff and you know beginning readers expect that you do?

I don't know why you are so hard on Ciaffone in this case. You should know it is easy to make mistakes. You have made them yourself. At least once. A simple conceptual mistake. And put it in print.

I'll point it out if asked to, but I can say that it is in HPFAP.
