On the St. Petersburg Paradox

Knut Aase

Scandinavian Actuarial Journal, 2001, vol. 2001, issue 1, 69-78

Abstract: The classical St. Petersburg Paradox is discussed in terms of doubling strategies. It is claimed that what was originally thought of as a ''paradox'' can hardly be considered as very surprising today, but viewed in terms of doubling strategies, we get some results that look paradoxical, at least to the practically oriented investor.
