Dear Colleagues,

We continue our Colloquium in the Math Department.

Thursday, October 21, EMCS 422, 3:00 pm.

Dr. Jeff B.

Risk of Ruin For Positive Expectation Games

Abstract:

In this talk, we will discuss Risk of Ruin in gambling. First we will make
basic comparisons to risk in investment theory. Then we will present
examples and formulas for games whose results are close to being normally
distributed. Finally we will breakdown games with more skewed outcomes,
present an alternate formula for their risk of ruin and provide examples.
