Simulate outcomes of a shuffle game based on betting strategy and initial capital.
- Players can place one bet, lowest $10 (#TODO: 10 items max, in-round re-bets)
- Odds to win are bet/pot, eg. $10 on a $100 pot has 10% chance to win
- Winner chosen randomly
- Round starts
- Game engine sets a pot size
- Our simulated player looks at round state (pot size, owned capital) and uses his strategy to bet
- Round ends
Simply go all-in every round. Very likely to work when your capital is much bigger than the average pot. You will get bitten at times and lose it all when some guy with 1% chance to win does win.
Always place as low a bet as possible, hoping to last long enough that you win a 1% chance pot.
Look at the average pot size and your capital, find the amount that should allow you to last until you win your money back. This strategy's goal is to break even and play for a long time. It's a valid choice only if you make money some other way while you play (eg. streaming to 20k viewers).
Place random bets until you have no money left. See how you fare compared to those other clever strategies.
- basic run with default settings ($1000 capital, $100 pot, 10 rounds):
python main.py - track bets of a strategy:
python main.py --log DEBUG 2>&1 | grep RandomStrategy | grep '\[player\]' - track rounds of a strategy:
python main.py --log DEBUG 2>&1 | grep LowestStrategy | grep '\[round\]'
