Lady Luck: The Theory of Probability, by Warren Weaver

(1982) 392 pp. softcover, Dover Publications, ISBN: 0-486-24342-7.  The best players have a thorough understanding of odds, and this book provides that.  This is such a clear introduction to probability for non-specialists that it is still being reprinted after 40  years.  Poker itself is not discussed, but the principles, concepts and formulas are readily applicable to figuring card odds.  Full of practical examples, many from gambling.  Did you know that the probability branch of mathematics was invented in 1654 by a French gambler trying to understand dice?  People who read this will have a leg up in understanding Mike Petriv's Holdem Odds Book.
