Hi, I have a question about the 2 player gamblers ruin problem...? Say there are 2 players, A who starts with £n1 and B who starts with £n2. at each turn A wins £1 from B with a probability p, or loses £1 from B with probability q=1-p. The game is then played until one player goes bankrupt, ie X(t)=-n2 (ie B bankrupt) or X(t)=n1(A bankrupt). Wht is the probability player A wins the game? I think I know how to do it if p=q, but I'm not really sure when p doesnt equal q or even how to get those equations involving p and q. Sorry this is so long!! Any help would be muchly appreciated!

What do you think of this gambling problem? Please help.? I am 25 years old and have been a problem gambler for all of my adult life. If I have an extra buck, I will gamble with it to try and get more. I don't know what I think but I continue to lose all my income, sometimes barely paying rent. However I always get that paid. Last night I made a huge mistake that may be detrimental to my relationship with my sister, who I live with. I gambled away almost 1000 dollars on her check card without her permission. This is now that I realize that I have a real problem. I told my sister what I did and she seemed a lot more hurt than pissed. I regret doing this greatly and I am looking to get help. What are some of my options and how would you handle it if a family member did this awful act of betrayal to you?

Can any gamblers answer this? Looks at the typical problem of the 'Gamblers Lament'. A gambler plays a game with a cost of $1000 where the chances of winning are 50 percent. The return or loss is 50%. If the gambler wins and then loses he ends up with $750. If he loses first, sending him down to $500 and then wins he also ends up with $750. So he wins as often as he loses, but he's still on the fast track to the poorhouse? How do you account for this? Alejandro..you're on the right track, but thats not right. Alba, sure, your scenario makes sense. But the scenario here involves a 50% return or loss. Its not double or nothing, thats something you've added for your convenience ;) There is a very good answer by the way. Nice tries guys, and some of you were close. Win/lose and lose/win will happen only half the time. 25% chance of lose lose - end result $250. 25% win win - end result $2250 Add up the losses - 750 + 250 + 250 = $1250 = amount when you win then win = $1250. Each is equally likely. Overall expectancy 0. However, like the last responder mentioned you're very close to 0 and betting your entire stack each time. Random walk says you're going to hit 0 most likely when this method. Start with a bankroll of 1000 units and bet 1 unit each time and you wont move that much in the long run. Any problems with my answer?

Why do I feel guilty for moving out of my parents home? My mom was a gambling addict - a problem gambler.? I decided not to return to live with my parents after college because I didn't want to live with my mom's gambling behavior. For most of my childhood, she'd take me to casinos and leave me there while she gambled - sometimes overnight. My dad enjoyed gambling as well but not to her extent. She'd make excuses about trying to win money to pay for my college tuition. As I got older, I told her I hated going but I accepted her temptations and lies about the money she'd win. She is now in high amounts of credit card debt but some debt are parent loans she took out for my education. My mother has a full-time job but she is living beyond her means. I've told her this but she is unwilling to change her situation to make it better for her. My mother said she has no hope for the future as I am not helping her situation. I help pay the loans she took for me. She told me she has not returned to gamble. My mom is in good credit standing but I feel guilty for not returning home. I am 22

Statistics problem? What is the law of large numbers regarding the gamblers ruin problem? Anyone

Grammar Check: Sometimes, all gamblers need is a lifeline.? This has been driving me nuts all day. I saw this on a poster and don't remember enough of grammar rules to be able to pick this apart. "Sometimes, all gamblers need is a lifeline." To me, [subject - gamblers] [verb - need] [verb - is][noun-lifeline] is odd because "need" is verb and then is followed by another verb "is" . These two work for me: all gamblers need a lifeline [noun]][verb][noun] and what all gamblers need is a lifeline [noun "what all gamblers need"][verb "is"][noun "a lifeline"] I think the problem might have something to do with matching singular/plural subjects with singular/plural verbs... Any help you can give is appreciated. While a response from anyone is great, I would really appreciate commentary that explains what is wrong and why it is wrong and what needs to be done to fix it. To clarify, this sentence was not authored by me. In no way am I trying to offer social commentary on gambling. It was on a poster that had a gambling help line.

I am uncertain how I can solve this problem??? I have been struggling with a problem. I go to the Casino once a month and lose money and just can't seem to stop. I enjoy the winning part of it , but not the losing part. I attended a few Gambler's Anonymous meeting and got so scared and so negative I decide to leave. The people there are really, really into it and very bad sounding people with very bad problems. I want to know how to solve this problem. I thought perhaps I would start a cleaning business and clean apts in my spare time to start to gain back some money from what I have been losing. I want to get myself out of this mess. Maybe there is some kind of hidden subconscious issue that remains unsolved in my mind.Has anyone got a sensible cure for this problem?

How do you deal with an alcoholic and a gambler? I am 24 years old and the "peacmaker in the house". I have a child that depends on me and we live at my parents. I do not pay rent but have problems with my parents bad habbits. My mother is a chronic casino gambler, my father is becoming like her and he is an alcoholic. They were not like that before and I tried talking to them to let them know what they are doing is not the way. They dont seem to care much for my advice. I cannot tel them what to do since "they are the parents". I fear if I move out, "all hell will brake loose" I am unhappy living there but do not know how to tell them I want to move out.

please to those who are involved in the study or treatment of addiction/brain development>? I have fought with a gambling problem, now, for three years. I've been told, by gamblers Annonymous, that I am beyond what they can do. My body was barely starting puberty when I began taking massive amounts of drugs, and alcohol. Throw in the pubescent sexual-awareness tendencies that age brings about and the party-hard philosophy of the time(70's), I've never been able to get enough pleasure. My brain is constantly trying to find ways to make me feel or not-feel. I spend every waking minute orally fixated with cigarettes, and go from coffee with 4 shots of esp. and a ton of sugar, to beer, whisky, soda, junkfood, candy, salts, spicy foods, etc. I've been doing crank for 25 years, it only calms me down, now. I've recently discovered the money isn't why I gamble, it's the adrenaline rush...which is stronger when I lose and the more I lose and the more devastating to my life it is, the bigger the rush. I know I need professional help,( no insur. tho).Is there a clinic?Anybody?

Is it okay to end your life when you are saddled with all kinds of problems from gambling addiction? I am a compulsive gambler addicted to casino poker machines for more than 13 years now. Consequently, my husband and my children left me. I had been living in a dormitory trying to find work but always I end up going back to the casino to gamble in a few minutes what took me a month to earn. Wanting to recover the millions of pesos I lost in gambling, I tried to chase my losses by playing bigger and bigger. I embezzelled company funds by erasing checks and writing pay to cash so I can encash them, I borrowed from bank using fictitious name, I defrauded many people, I stole money and things from laptop, cellphone to jewelries, I got jewelries from a store on consignment and issued unfunded checks for them and then pawned them so I can have gambling money. Now I want to die from shame, guilt and fear of being put to jail. I am held back by my fear of hell. But sometimes I think that hell is just a fiction so I might succeed in getting done my suicidal thoughts one of these days.
