Chance and Luck is a book written by Richard Anthony Proctor in 1889 that explores the laws of luck, coincidences, wagers, lotteries, and the fallacies of gambling. The book delves into the mathematical and statistical principles underlying games of chance, including poker and martingales. Proctor examines the psychology of gambling, the role of superstition in games of chance, and the dangers of addiction. He also discusses the ethics of gambling and the impact it can have on society. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the complex and often misunderstood world of gambling, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
