Laws of large numbers for cooperative St. Petersburg gamblers (Q2568545): Difference between revisions

General linear combinations of independent winnings in generalized St. Petersburg games are interperted as indiviual gains that result from pooling strategies of different cooperative players. A weak law of large numbers is proved for all such combinations, along with some almost sure results for the smallest and largest accummulation points, and a considerable body of earlier literature is fitted into this cooperative framework. Corresponding weak laws are also established, both conditionally and unconditionally, for random pooling strategies.
