There have been many discussions on it. If you type Petriv into the search facility, you should be able to get them.

I like

(1) The bell curve

I just spent $47 on a blind buy of The Theory of Gambling and Statistical Logic. May God have mercy on your soul if this book doesn't live up to my expectations.

P.S. Thanks for the rec!
