| Oct 25 at 13:19 | comment | added | Liviu Nicolaescu | @user479223 I thought that too but this is tricker. Stochastic dynamic programming does not seem to work in this case. An old book by Dubbins and Savage "How to gamble if you must" has many gems and there might be some helpful ideas there. | |

| Oct 25 at 10:14 | comment | added | Nate River | I am sure there is a more sophisticated strategy, but I am not sure what it is :kek: @martincripps | |
| Oct 25 at 9:43 | comment | added | martin cripps | Nate should only do zero-or-everything bets? Can Nate do better than betting everything on the last coin if he has only seen Tails in the previous rounds? He gets 1+(1/n) from this. | |
| Oct 25 at 8:28 | comment | added | Nate River | Ah, the coins may only be used once! @FedorPetrov | |
| Oct 25 at 8:16 | comment | added | Fedor Petrov | Should not Nste always bet on the remaining coin which was heads most often so far? | |
