THE RISE AND FALL OF PERFECT 10: PERFECT 10 MAGAZINE, POKER, HEDGE FUNDS, U.S. INVESTING CHAMPIONSHIP, HOW JUDGES DESTROYED COPYRIGHT, LOTFI ZADEH, FUZZY LOGIC, LUCILLE BALL, JOAN RIVERS, HOWARD STERN
This book will take you through many worlds-academia, modeling, experiences with Hollywood celebrities including Lucille Ball, Joan Rivers, and Howard Stern, model boxing, gambling, law, and hedge funds. It is the story of my life and my father's life. We took different paths. He stayed in academics, created fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, and became one of the world's most cited mathematicians. I stayed in academics long enough to have some great stories to tell. Ditto for gambling. You will also learn about my experiences running the United States Investing Championship, managing hedge funds, and publishing the magazine Perfect 10, an all-natural competitor to Playboy. I have included in this book some of the techniques I used to make money playing poker, backgammon, and betting on basketball and baseball, as well as some of my secrets for making money in the market and doing well in school. I also recount some of my bizarre experiences with models, which will hopefully bring a smile to your face.
