Hi,
I want to introduce this book about Game Theory to price options by Shafer and Vovk?

They construct an interesting new mathematical (and philosophical) framework for probability theory and pricing derivates by using game theory.
I think, that this framework make sometimes smile but is unimpressive. And price/performance-ratio is to high.
But if someone read "Probability and Finance: It's Only a Game!" at a library it's a new point of view.
 
Might be an interesting book to read. I looked at the table of contents, some chapters promise to be enlightening (like "Neosubjectivism").
