He is going to play the following game: if he bets $b, then with probability p, 0 < p< 1, he will win $b; with probability 1 – p, he will lose his $b. He is given the opportunity to play at most 20 times. He is a very disciplined gambler and is going to use the following strategy: • Every time he plays, he will make a bet equal to half of the amount of money he has at that moment. • If the amount of money he has gets to $300 or higher, then he will stop playing. Find the probability that, starting with $100 and given 20 chances to play the game, this person will get to $300 or more. Formulate this problem recursively by writing down the “Bellman equation."
