BETTING AGAINST THE CROWD - YAIR NEUMAN KARTONI...

Crowds are misleading  both in their simplicity and in their complexity. On the one hand  they
behave according to expected trends  on the other  they present sudden shifts and frantic 
unexpected behavior. Therefore  betting against the crowd  whether in politics  sports  or
finance  requires a deep understanding of the crowd's dynamics. In this book  Prof. Neuman
addresses this challenge by delving into the complexity of crowds. The book involves
foundational issues and novel ideas  such as why crowds behave unexpectedly  why betting
against the crowd is possible only in short time frames  why is it important to be attentive to
suspicious signs that are indicative of the crowd's behavior  and why the long tail of
fatalities in armed conflicts leaves us surprised by blitz attacks of violent mobs. The book
combines scientific knowledge  experiments  and accessible  often humorous  exposition. It can
be read by anyone with a basic science education who seeks to understand crowds and how one can
act within and against them.
