Dear colleagues

Be sure that the first was Bernoulli.

In my classes I always use the fact of a gambler in front a slot 
machine with his last token. Probably if the token costs ten, the 
value for him surely will be more. Remember that the St.Petesburg 
paradox was a gambling game.

Sorry for my english.

Regards,

Hugo Vallarino
