1 The Mathematics of Gambling with Related Applications Madhu Advani Stanford University April 12, 2014 Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
2 Gambling Gambling: the sure way of getting nothing for something -Wilson Mizner No wife can endure a gambling husband unless he is a steady winner -Thomas Dewar Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
3 Motivation and Goals Accumulate information to give you an edge Use that information to the best of your ability Be successful in an uncertain environment Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
4 Outline 1 Gaining an Edge 2 Avoiding Gambler s ruin 3 Bigger Picture Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
5 Section 1 Gaining an Edge Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
6 Claude Shannon Creator of Information theory I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I m rooting for the machines Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
7 Claude Shannon- Life after Info Theory Theseus the maze-solving mouse (Machine Learning) The ultimate machine Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
8 Edward O. Thorp Father of the wearable computer Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
9 Why Don t Casinos change the Rules? 1 They tried 2 Most card counters are bad 3 Knockout dealers 4 You may be banned 5 Or worse Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
10 How to Win at Roulette Approximate the quadrant the ball will land in. Bets placed for a second or two after wheel is spun. Built in Shannon s basement and kept a secret Edward Thorp now known as the father of the wearable computer Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
11 Section 2 Gambler s Ruin Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
12 Coin Flip Game Fair coin: chance heads or tails For some reason I am giving amazing odds of 3 dollars for every 1 dollar if the coin lands on heads Imagine you have a dollar and want to play the game: how much would you bet? How about odds of 10 dollars? Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
13 How to Invest Bet all your Money E [ W n+1] = 3 2 W n The problem is gambler s ruin: the coin eventually lands on tails Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
14 How to Invest Bet all your Money E [ W n+1] = 3 2 W n The problem is gambler s ruin: the coin eventually lands on tails Long-term investment growth X n = X 0 g 1 g 2...g n X n = X 0 2 log(g 1)+log(g 2 )+... log(g n) Central limit theorem says sum independent random mean: R max = max E [log g] b Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
15 Optimal Betting Maximize expected log of growth! Say we bet a fraction of our money b [0, 1] on heads log g = log(ob + (1 b)) log g = log(1 b) Pr = p Pr = 1 p Odds I m giving are 3 for 1 so O = 3, p = 1/2 max b E[log g] = max [p log(ob + (1 b)) + (1 p) log(1 b)] b b = p 1 O 1 1 O Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
16 Optimal Betting Simulation In 500 games, you become a billionaire with the optimal strategy, a millionaire with the low risk strategy. Interestingly, even with the odds in your favor, you loose all your money if you bet too aggressively. Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
17 Optimal Betting for Blackjack O = 1/2: Dealers give you 2 for 1 if you win (usually) If the deck has a high count you have an edge: p > 1/2 b = 2p 1 For a moderately high count p =.51 so bet 2 percent of your money Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
18 Section 3 Bigger Picture Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
19 Kelly Gambling A beautiful theory relating information theory to gambling. Imagine a horse-race with n horses and odds o i. If the true probability of each horse winning is p i. Say you bet a fraction b i of your money on each horse, then R = E [log(g)] = i p i log(b i o i ) b i = p i D(p, q) = i p i log(p i /q i ) D measures the difference between two probability distributions Money grows as 2 md(p,q), if you bet in m races! q i = 1 o i. Discrepancy between reality and dealer s beliefs can be exploited. Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
20 Intuition and Application Diversify your bets: both hedging against disaster and maximizing growth rate. (Hedging) Bet your beliefs Example: Lottery, Securities Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
21 Information Theory: Compression Intuition: The amount of predictability in a message tell you how much you can compress it. The higher the entropy of a language the less predictable H = i p i log p i Example Imagine you want to make a language more efficient than English, but with 2 letter. Take a dictionary and make a conversion chart More probably words should have smaller lengths Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
22 Information Theory: Transmission Intuition: Noise is corrupting your messages. Therefore you may have to repeat your messages or add error correcting bits. How much longer do the messages need to get? R=fraction of the message that is informative R I (X, Y ) = D(p(x, y) p(x)p(y)) X is input and Y is corrupted output. You are limited by how dependent the corrupted and original signal are on each other. If they are independent, you can t send messages! Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
23 Conclusions and Wrapping up You need to find an edge to make money (bet probably not in Vegas) Even with an edge, you have to bet appropriately to make money Made an average of 20 percent return on investments over 25 years. Hedge Fund Manager - Currently Made a 28 percent return on his President of Edward O. Thorp and portfolio: more than Warren Buffet. Associates Continued Tinkering: Chess, Rubik s cube, etc. Madhu Advani (Stanford University) Mathematics of Gambling April 12, / 23
