Hollywood park \"let\'s make a deal\"
They have this "let's make a deal" thing at hollywood park. If you get picked, you can take 300, or you can go for 5k. There are 20 cases. I dunno what's in the others, but if the combined value of the other nineteen is more than 1k, you should go for the 5k. Anyone know what is in the others?
FWIW, I took the 300, because I'm nitty, and I didn't know what was in the others, and I doubt that even if there was an overlay, my bankroll would justify me going for it (according to the kelly criterion)

It just like the TV show. its a simple EV calculation.
but of course theres a big difference between expected utility and expected value. you only get to run this event once.
