Monte Carlo Or Bust: Simple Simulations for Aspiring Sports Bettors by Joseph Buchdahl In addition to the famous Casino, and the psychological gambling fallacy that shares its name, 'Monte Carlo' is also used to describe a tool of statistical forecasting. A Monte Carlo simulation models the probability of uncertain outcomes that cannot be easily predicted from mathematical equations.
