Nonconstant Sum Red-And-Black Games with Bet-Dependent Win Probability Function
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
In this paper we investigate a class of N-person nonconstant sum red-and-black games with bet-dependent win probability functions. We assume that N players and a gambling house are engaged in a game played in stages, where the player's probability of winning at each stage is a function f of the ratio of his bet to the sum of all the players' bets. However, at each stage of the game there is a positive probability that all the players lose and the gambling house wins their bets. We prove that if the win probability function is super-additive and it satisfies f(s)f(t)≤f(st), then a bold strategy is optimal for all players.
