With his financial acumen, extraordinary memory, keen intellect and the kind of charm necessary to win over even his adversaries, Donald J. Angelini had all of the stuff necessary to be the chief financial officer of a major Chicago corporation.

Some would say he was.

Mr. Angelini, 74, died Wednesday at his longtime residence in Elmhurst after fighting cancer for years.

Dubbed the 'Wizard of Odds' in the Chicago Outfit, the name organized crime members for decades have given to the city's Mafia faction, Mr. Angelini was viewed by authorities as one of the top money makers in Chicago crime syndicate history.

To those who knew him, the father of three and grandfather of five was simply a generous gentleman.

'He was one of the finest, most wonderful men I have ever met,' said William A. Von Hoene Jr., an attorney at the Chicago firm of Jenner & Block who represented Mr. Angelini during the past decade.

'He was generous, kind, loving, devoted to his family and an extraordinary friend to many, many people,' Von Hoene said.

Mr. Angelini pleaded guilty to federal gambling charges in 1989 and was sentenced to 21 months in prison.

Prosecutors alleged that Mr. Angelini, along with the late Dominic Cortina, reigned as gambling czar over a $20 million per-year sports betting empire.

Mr. Angelini and his attorney scoffed at the government's figures, but government agents insisted their numbers may even have been conservative.

It wasn't Mr. Angelini's first run-in with the law, nor was it his last.

As early as the 1960s, when he was arrested with the late syndicate boss John 'Jackie the Lackey' Cerone, federal agents considered Mr. Angelini to be the brains behind the mob's vast sports gambling operation. They said he set nearly unbeatable 'spreads' on sporting events and controlled the odds for football, baseball and hockey games.

'He's one of the, I hate to say, great minds...within organized crime,' Wayne Johnson, the chief investigator for the Chicago Crime Commission, said in a recent interview.

Assistant U.S. Attorney John Burley, the federal organized crime prosecutor who secured Mr. Angelini's 1989 indictment, said he even grew to appreciate the man's mastery.

'He was a fast study, a very smart man,' Burley said. 'I came to appreciate his wizardry.'

Mr. Angelini recently made headlines again when he became the third organized crime figure to be banned from riverboat casinos here by the Illinois Gaming Board under the 'black book' provision of the state's casino law. According to law enforcement sources who tracked his activities, he was a regular at the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin, where he wagered huge sums of cash.

Mr. Angelini and Cortina, both considered to be gentlemen by the government agents who tracked them, were never associated with the bloodshed that racked Chicago's underworld in the 1960s, 1970s and even into the 1980s.

Although he was known as a gentleman, Mr. Angelini once led authorities on a short chase along the Kennedy Expressway. They wanted to arrest him. He wanted to board a plane at O'Hare International Airport--not to flee justice, but to take a previously arranged vacation in Florida.

Visitation is scheduled for 3 to 9 p.m. Friday in Salerno Galewood Chapels, 1875 N. Harlem Ave., Chicago. A mass will be said at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in St. Vincent Ferrer Church, 1530 Jackson Ave., River Forest.

· History

The history of Odds Wizard goes back to 1998 when enchanting spectacle of World Cup in France had inspired development of prediction algorithms. First simple algorithm was implemented within the Excel worksheet as Visual Basic application. Since then, a lot of research efforts have been made towards enchancement of prediction strength. Initially, soccer was the only sport supported by Odds Wizard. Nowadays, other types of sports such as ice hockey, basketball, american football, baseball, and tennis are supported as well.

Since the first release in 1999, Odds Wizard has acquired over 75,000 active users worldwide, and this number is constantly growing.

· Uniqueness of Odds Wizard

Algorithms of Odds Wizard are unique, and are based on the most advanced statistical methods, including adaptive regularization of the pseudo-normal solution, integral form of Pascal distribution, etc. There is no other software that can compete successfullywith Odds Wizard in prediction strength as so far.

· No senseless verdicts

Odds Wizard predicts future events in terms of probabilities of win, draw, loss, unders, overs, correct scores, handicaps, etc. It does not make senseless verdicts on who will actually win. Situation resembles quantum mechanics: you can't predict anything surely, but you can compute probability of whatever you want. Then, you compare fair odds (in decimal notation, equal to 1/probability) with the market odds offered by a bookmaker, and decide whether to place stake or not.

· Capabilities of Odds Wizard

Odds Wizard's powerful prediction engine is able to compute fixed odds (1 X 2), double-chance odds (1X 12 2X), Asian handicap odds, fixed handicap odds, all totals (unders & overs), and all correct scores with corresponding odds, half/full time odds (as many as over 100 various odds per event are computed). Three separate sets of odds for the match periods (full time, first time and second time) are supported, thus tripling the total number of computed odds. It can handle unlimited number of arbitrary leagues with up to 1024 teams, and unlimited number of games per league. All supported leagues are easily updated via the Internet connection.

Odds Wizard has been fully integrated with the bet optimizer Stake Wizard 4, decision-making software generating an optimal betting strategy. Using sophisticated probability analysis, it does directly instruct bettor as of what bet structure is preferable, as well as of the specific betting fund distribution. Unlike simple programs based on Kelly criterion, Stake Wizard 4 allows to use a realistic range of bankroll growth, and to specify confidence probability of reaching the target fund.

Odds Wizard has built-in powerful tools, such as Odds converter, Performance analysis, Tournament analysis, Games filter, and Data retriever.

· Live results and odds on your PC

The only condition for efficient use of the new version with its huge tennis leagues is a powerful processor inside PC.

· What is Odds Wizard designed for?

Odds Wizard is designed to help professional bettors to have greater wins, though the bookmakers may also use it to maximize their profits. As a matter of fact, Odds Wizard has been a virtual independent bookmaker providing any kind of odds on the basis of advanced statistical analysis and forecast. Unlike real bookie, it doesn't make costly mistakes. Furthermore, it reveals such mistakes and enables bettor to rely not only on the good luck, but also on the probabilistic laws. Normally, the latter are on the side of a bookmaker as long as one releases correct market odds (lines). In such a case 10-20% of gross amount of stakes make up bookie's profit in the long run. Should the bookie's market odds exceed fair odds generated by Odds Wizard, bettor acquires reliable preconditions to win and bookie to lose.

· New theorem empowers new Stake Wizard

Bet optimizer tool Stake Wizard 4 is based upon the new theorem(© Newhaven Software, 2007-2021):

Maximum possible value of an average factor of fund growth Z is achieved by the optimal distribution of a bankroll amongst 2^N-1 possible simultaneous stakes, and is determined by the following expression:
where ln Z_ave - mathematical expectation of ln Z; p_i - probability of i-th event, equal to 1/F_i, F_i - fair odds; q_i - sportsbook's 'probability' of i-th event, equal to 1/L_i, L_i - payout coefficients (aka market odds, line odds, or lines); N - number of chosen independent events.
Possible stakes comprise N system bets (combinations) of type (m, N), where m = 1..N. Each system bet contains C^m_N m-fold accumulator bets. In particular, possible stakes include N single ordinary bets, and one N-fold accumulator bet. In general case, optimal system bets are not equipartitioned.

The proof is trivial for a single event with only one possible stake. In the latter simple case, optimal stake is equal to Kelly's optimum (p - q)/(1 - q). The proof for N > 1 is rather complicated even for N = 2. However using Stake Wizard's multivariate optimization engine, one can calculate optimal stakes and verify the theorem numerically for the greater N 's in few seconds.

The above formula means that Z_ave can be incredibly high, provided that one has found sufficient number of appropriate events (F_i< L_i). But the price is tremendous number of stakes to be placed by the bettor.For example, for 26 events having F_i = 1.5 and L_i = 1.7, one should place as many as 2²⁶-1 = 67108863 various stakes to achieve 40.2% of an average fund growth in a single round! Practical constraints however, such as minimum stake limitation or the reasonable number of simultaneous stakes, of course reduce the effective value of Z_ave.These constraints are taken into account by Stake Wizard, and can be set as the program's options.

The new theorem empowers Stake Wizard 4 with an ultimate performance that could be never achieved before.

· Odds Wizard may be used in two ways:

1. Set profit margin to 0%, generate fair odds, compare them to the bookie's lines, find occasions when the market odds appear to be greater than fair odds, and place reliable stakes according to the scientific approach provided by the powerful tool

.

2. Set profit margin to 5-15%, generate market odds, and open new sportsbook without bookie himself! Serious bookmakers may use Odds Wizard as an advisor, e.g. to correct an average market odds in a direction shown by the program.
