Strategic Games uses mathematics to solve real-world problems in sport, gambling and conflicts. Managing director Dr Tristan Barnett (aka "The Baron") has successfully solved real-world problems based on his own personal experiences. This includes a situation on recovering money from a work agreement dispute, where "The Baron" found a remarkable connection between how much to bet in video poker and whether it is beneficial to file a lawsuit given there are risks involved if unsuccessful in court.
