How it works

In the game Double or Nothing, we have 3 cards:

• One with a plus on both sides

• One with a minus on both sides

• One with a plus on one side and a minus on the other side

We put the 3 cards in a bag, and then we draw one at random. If the side facing up has a plus, we get +1 point. If the side facing up has a minus, we get –1 point.

For example, imagine we draw a card from the bag and the side facing up has a plus. We have +1 points for the round so far. Now we have a choice to make: We can either put the card back in the bag without looking at the other side, or we can flip the card over and get the points on the other side before putting the card back in the bag.

• If we put the card back in the bag, then we get +1 point total for this round.

• If we flip the card over, then:

• If the other side has a plus, we get another +1 point, so we get +2 points total for this round.
• But if the back has a minus, we get –1 point, which cancels out the +1 point from the front, and we get 0 points for this round.

What should your strategy be if you want to maximize your score?

• It has a low floor and a high ceiling: It's easy for students to get started playing the game, but finding an optimal strategy is more challenging, and there’s lots to explore about the relationship between the distribution of cards in the bag and the probabilities!
