Exact Strong Laws for Simultaneous St. Petersburg Games
نویسنده
چکیده
Herein we show a simple way to make the St. Petersburg Game fair for both Peter and Paul. By just considering the minimum of two simultaneous games we establish a way that could easily have been understood three centuries ago. Similarly, we show how to play the St. Petersburg Game by observing the maximum of two concurrent games. After showing how to make this fair for both Peter and Paul by playing two games at a time we extend this so that they can play m simultaneous St. Petersburg Games.

متن کاملOn the rate of convergence of the St. Petersburg game
We investigate the repeated and sequential portfolio St.Petersburg games. For the repeated St.Petersburg game, we show an upper bound on the tail distribution, which implies a strong law for a truncation. Moreover, we consider the problem of limit distribution. For the sequential portfolio St.Petersburg game, we obtain tight asymptotic results for the growth rate of the game.
متن کاملComplex Expectations
In our (2004), we introduced two games in the spirit of the St. Petersburg game, the Pasadena and Altadena games. As these latter games lack an expectation, we argued that they pose a paradox for decision theory. Terrence Fine has shown that any finite valuations for the Pasadena, Altadena, and St. Petersburg games are consistent with the standard decisiontheoretic axioms. In particular, one c...
