• GAMBLING DAY Thursday, November 13, 2007
  The math club sponsors a Gambling Day each fall. We usually have tables with Black Jack (with a professional dealer), Texas Hold 'Em, Keno, and Craps. In addition to the gambling there are lectures by statistics professors on the probability of winning and the mathematics behind various betting schemes. Players receive a fixed amount of math club money at the start. Prizes are awarded based on the most dollars accumulated at the end of play. Pictured are the dealers, croupiers, and gamblers from past years.
