The point spread in sports betting is essentially a handicap towards the underdog, for example the point spread of the game this weekend between Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chief in Cincinnati +3 or Kansas city is -3. If you place a bet on the bengals, Kansas city must win by less than 3 points for your bet to wim. If Kansas city wins by exactly 3 points then the bet is a push and your stake is returned. Now suppose you placed a bet of 100 dollars on the bengals on a website where they charge 10% commission (if you win $90) when line was CIncinati +3 or Kansas City -3 According to previous studies the final margin of victory for NFL team in a given game can be approximated as a normal variable with a mean of points spread line and a standard deviation of 12, however suppose the bengals just announced that their star receiver Chase would return this weekend which adds two points in favour of the bengals. In other words, we suppose that the winning margin now for Kansas City this…

- A game theorist is walking down the street in his neighborhood and finds $20. Just as he picks it up, two neighborhood kids, Jane and Tim, run up to him, asking if they can have it. Because game theorists are generous by nature, he says he’s willing to let them have the $20, but only according to the following procedure: Jane and Tim are each to submit a written request as to their share of the $20. Let t denote the amount that Tim requests for himself and j be the amount that Jane requests for herself. Tim and Jane must choose j and t from the interval [0,20]. If j + t ≤ 20, then the two receive what they requested, and the remainder, 20 - j - t, is split equally between them. If, however, j + t > 20, then they get nothing, and the game theorist keeps the $20. Tim and Jane are the players in this game. Assume that each of them has a payoff equal to the amount of money that he or she receives. Find all Nash equilibria.arrow_forwardIn the "normal version" of a game called NIM, there are two players.
