Girolamo Cardano (1501–1576), a true Renaissance polymath, was among the first to conduct a comprehensive analysis of gambling data. His pioneering work in probability theory laid the groundwork for what would eventually become modern data science. Yet Cardano also struggled with the very subject he studied: he once lost all his possessions—including the clothes he was wearing—and his son battled a gambling addiction that led him to steal from his father.
Carda Consultancy builds on Cardano’s legacy by applying probabilistic methods such as machine learning—not to promote or optimize gambling, but to help ensure it remains safe and enjoyable for everyone.
