Optimal strategies for betting on HI-LO

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Previous attempts at determining the optimum strategy for playing the HI-LO sequential gaming routine relied heavily on decision analysis methodology. In contrast the approach described in this paper involves a stochastic dynamic programming (backward recursion) treatment. Details of the new procedure are presented, together with illustrative - and revealing - results for an existing test application.
