Sep 29, 2021 at 14:14 comment added Dots So any ideas to analyse those numbers? Im thinking of how often big numbers (>10) come that is how far apart they usually are, and calculate probabilities after many consecutive payoffs <2. i.e. -> [1.3,1.2,1.5,1.7,1.3] -> in my dataset how probable is it that a number >2 comes
Sep 29, 2021 at 14:11 comment added Dots Yes they do a trick with the coef. to make you think you win more where they remove your bet immediately from your account so if I bet 2 dollars that the coef. is 3 and the actual is 10 then I win 3xbet-bet = 3*2-2=4
Sep 29, 2021 at 13:11 comment added Adrià Luz @Henry I think I see where my confusion is coming from. I interpreted the win payout to be the difference between my guess and the actual guess, when I undershoot. For example, if I guessed 1.5 and the actual payout was 4.1 I would win 4.1-1.5=2.6. Which sounds stupid, I know. This is why on my first comment I said that there must have been something missing in the explanation. Turns out it was my fault! Obviously, if all you win is the difference between your guess and 1, then guessing the minimum possible return doesn't make any sense.
Sep 29, 2021 at 13:04 comment added Henry @AdriàLuz I did not know anything about it either (I invented the tie idea, so may be wrong. But if $99\%$ of the time you would win $0.01$ while $1\%$ of the time you would lose $1$, then your expected change is $+0.01\times 0.99 - 1 \times 0.01 = -0.0001$, i.e. losing. This promotional link says "The lowest playing coefficient in Aviator is 1. It does not fall out very often, on average every 50 rounds."
Sep 29, 2021 at 12:59 comment added Adrià Luz Note I'm also assuming (as per the details shared by the OP) that when you lose you only lose your bet for that round ($1).
Sep 29, 2021 at 12:58 comment added Adrià Luz @Henry I'm definitely missing something (as I said I don't know anything about the game apart from what the OP shared). Just with the info shared, assuming that (1) you also lose on ties, that (2) the lowest allowed guess is 1.01, and that (3) 1.01 happens 1% of the time, guessing 1.01 every round would result in winning something 99% of the time (and this something could potentially be very large e.g. if the actual return was x1000). Based on these assumptions and my very limited knowledge I don't see why guessing 1.01 would be a losing strategy. But again, I'm sure I'm missing something!
Sep 29, 2021 at 12:52 comment added Henry @AdriàLuz I see a $1.01$ near the bottom of the list. Perhaps you lose on ties, so if that happens $1\%$ of the time or more often then guessing $1.01$ would be a losing strategy
Sep 29, 2021 at 12:08 comment added Adrià Luz I'm not familiar with the game, but I suspect there's something wrong or missing in your explanation. You're saying that if you undershoot you win the difference, and if you overshoot you only lose $1. If this was the case, the best strategy would be to always guess the minimum possible return, wouldn't it?
