[IA (HL)] Portfolio Type II -- The Dice Game. 'Desy Glau', on 29 Aug 2011 - 11:20, said: thank you! What if it's like this:banker: 2player A: 1player B: 2player C: 3player 5should player A pay the banker since his score is lower? Should player A pay player D or will the banker be the one who pays? A's score is the lowest player B gets the same with the banker...will he have to pay? What happen to the rest? So they get their money back? Or is it like everyone's bet will be given to player D?
I think the IA allows a lot of flexiblity and I would go with your teachers advise. If you use the blackjack method then player A would pay bank, and bank would pay player C and D. If it's winner takes all then banker, player A, B and C pay player D. I mean in my opinion, as long as the game isn't biased towards the bank or players anything is acceptable. Dice Probability. Before you play any dice game it is good to know the probability of any given total to be thrown. First lets look at the possibilities of the total of two dice. The table below shows the six possibilities for die 1 along the left column and the six possibilities for die 2 along the top column.
The body of the table shows the sum of die 1 and die 2. Two Dice Totals The colors of the body of the table illustrate the number of ways to throw each total. The probability of throwing any given total is the number of ways to throw that total divided by the total number of combinations (36). In the following table the specific number of ways to throw each total and the probability of throwing that total is shown. The following shows the probability of throwing each total in a chart format. Now that we understand the probability of throwing each total we can apply this information to the dice games in the casinos to calculate the house edge.
Mathematics of bookmaking. In gambling parlance, making a book is the practice of laying bets on the various possible outcomes of a single event. The term originates from the practice of recording such wagers in a hard-bound ledger (the 'book') and gives the English language the term bookmaker for the person laying the bets and thus 'making the book'.[1][2] Making a 'book' (and the notion of overround)[edit] The odds quoted for a particular event may be fixed (as in the case of a football match for example) or may fluctuate to take account of the size of wagers placed by the bettors in the run-up to the actual event (e.g. a horse race). This article explains the mathematics of making a book in the (simpler) case of the former event. It is important to understand the relationship between odds and relative probabilities: Thus, odds of a-b (a/b or a to b) represent a relative probability of b/(a + b), e.g. 6-4 (6 to 4) is 4/(6 + 4) = 4/10 = 0.4 (or 40%).
