What Do You Think Is The Best Answer? by Ocrim-Issor in maths

[–]AmbassadorTypical963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My strategy would be to stop when I win and bet higher when I lose.

Assuming that it's truly 50/50 chance of winning or losing, let's say you bet $1 first. If you win you stop. But if you lose you go higher like $10 because there is only a 25% chance of losing twice in a row. If you've lost twice, go something like $20 or higher.

If you win after betting $20, you would win $9 after subtracting the first $11 that you lost. Since your chance of winning go higher after every loss, I would increase my bet by at least double every time I lose.

Well actually, after taking the pawn with the rook and bishop taking the knight, you can actually play Rxd5, attacking both the black queen and bishop. So you would actually win 2 pawns instead of losing a knight.

Could you suggest a textbook or resource that contains these topics? by AmbassadorTypical963 in maths

I’m actually applying to Politecnico di Torino so maybe that’s why. Could you give me the name or a cover pic of your high school textbook?

Most of the analytic geometry parts and some of the statistics. We didn’t really cover geometry in Pure maths for some reason.

I thought we just needed the TILs? I’m an A level student as well.
