An ex-Wall Street trader improved on Moneyball's famed sabermetrics and beat the Vegas odds with his own betting methods. Here is the story of how Joe Peta turned fantasy baseball into a dream come true.

Joe Peta turned his back on his Wall Street trading career to pursue an ingenious--and incredibly risky--dream. He would apply his risk-analysis skills to Major League Baseball, and treat the sport like the S&P 500.

In Trading Bases, Peta takes us on his journey from the ballpark in San Francisco to the trading floors and baseball bars of New York and the sportsbooks of Las Vegas, telling the story of how he created a baseball "hedge fund" with an astounding 41 percent return in his first year. And he explains the unique methods he developed.

Along the way, Peta provides insight into the Wall Street crisis he managed to escape: the fragility of the midnineties investment model; the disgraced former CEO of Lehman Brothers, who recruited Peta; and the high-adrenaline atmosphere where million-dollar sports-betting pools were common.

Great looking watch
Color: Blue Gradient on Stainless Steel
This is the first Mido watch I've purchased. My first impression is it's a very nice looking watch, good quality and very attractive. The way the black to blue dial fades is very well done. The only drawback is it's almost to small for a common wrist size. I absolutely love the adjustable band and find myself using it all the time.

Total Disappointment
Color: Blue Gradient on Stainless Steel
Watch looks great but feels cheap. In addition, the advertised luminous features on the watch are non-existent.

Easily the equal of more expensive brands
Color: Black on Black Rubber
Interesting black dial and beautifully finished solid black PVD case. 39 mm perfect for my 7.25 inch wrist. Keeps time within +4 sec/day even though not COSC certified. Easily the equal of watches costing 2-4 times more like Breitling or Tag Heuer.
