Math IA Beating Monopoly With Math Aaron Febinn: RQ: Aim

This document discusses strategies for beating Monopoly using math and probability. It analyzes the probabilities of landing on different spaces based on dice rolls and getting doubles. Getting doubles increases the chances of advancing further around the board. Chance cards and other random elements can disrupt these probabilities by sending players to different spaces. The best strategy is to build houses in areas opponents are likely to land on, such as spaces for rolling a 7, 5, 6, 8 or 9. Understanding the probabilities and how random elements affect them can help players develop tactical advantages to increase their chances of winning.

What is the best way to beat Monopoly using math

Introduction:
Monopoly is a board game currently published by Hasbro. In the game,
players roll two six-sided dice to move around the game board, buying and
trading properties, and developing them with houses and hotels. Players
collect rent from their opponents, with the goal being to drive them into
bankruptcy. Money can also be gained or lost through Chance and
Community Chest cards, and tax squares; players can end up in jail, which
they cannot move from until they have met one of several conditions. The
game has numerous house rules, and hundreds of different editions exist, as
well as many spin-offs and related media. Monopoly has become a part of
international popular culture, having been licensed locally in more than 103
countries and printed in more than 37 languages.

Monopoly is derived from The Landlord's Game created by Lizzie Magie in


the United States in 1903 as a way to demonstrate that an economy which
rewards wealth creation is better than one where monopolists work under
few constraints, and to promote the economic theories of Henry George—in
particular his ideas about taxation.3 It was first published by Parker Brothers
in 1935 until that firm was eventually absorbed into Hasbro in 1991. The
game is named after the economic concept of monopoly—the domination of
a market by a single entity.

Elements:
The dice is the most fundamental element of the game. The graph is
showing the probability of where you will land from where you begin the
game

On your first roll, you have a very high chance on landing chance, or the
other 2 higher-chance-of-landings, the Oriental or Vermont, a 1/10 chance of
landing on a Reading Railroad or the Connecticut

Doubles:
But getting doubles that distribution by a lot, because when you get a
double, you get to roll again and. If we want find out where someone will end
their turn, which helps us to find other possibilities, we need to factor in
doubles

Getting a Double

Rolling doubles can be very powerful. Its actually possible to reach the Short
Line by getting doubles, but the probability is very low (0.00021%)

Speeding:

Because of this the game has a ‘speeding’ rule where if u get more than 3
doubles u go to jail, since the problem gets harder so the next graph will so
show the probability of landing where in your second roll if you land on a
space in your first roll

Roll probabilities (If you get doubles)

Tactical Pointer:

Let's say you want to build a few houses and you see your opponent coming
up some of your properties. Your opponent most likely roll a seven or a five,
six eight or a nine, if your able to, try to build house 5-9 spaces ahead of
adversaries

Things that will mess the probability:


They are Chance cards, Community chest and Go To Jail, if you understand
how these will affect your chances.

Chance Cards

If you land on a Chance space, you get to draw out 1 of the 16 Chance
cards. The chance cards will you 1 if the 5 five things:

• Get-Out-Jail Card (1/16)

• Collect-Money Card (3/16)

• Advance-Somewhere-On-The-Board Card (1/2)

• Pay-Money Card (3/16)

• Or Go-To-Jail card (1/16)

How will these change the possibilities


9/16 of the Chance cards will transport you from the chance place to a
different place, the picture will so places where the cards will send you.

44% Chance to stay on
