Re: Party Step Higher Question
I thought about this when they announced they were starting payouts at step 4.
Payouts at step 5 are as follows:
1st: $25000
2nd: $15000
3rd: $10000
At step 4, you can get 3500 for taking 3rd. So, if you get to top 3 at step 4 should you try to lose and take the $3500?
If you get to step 5, what is the expected amount you will win? Assuming you have a 10% chance of taking 1st, 10% for 2nd, and 10% for 3rd. (Although, I would think the percentages would be a little higher for good players.) With those chances, you should expect to win $5000 for every Step 5 you play (over time).
So, in the long run, it is better to take top 2 at step 4, but I can see how it would be hard to pass up the $3500.
Good luck.

Asked earlier..but no response.
I've won my way in to step 4; which pays 600-3500 for 7th thru 2nd I think and 1st goes on to step 5.
Step 5 looks like it only pays top three place. (25k-10k)
and 4-10 get nothing?
I'm wondering if that is correct. Cause if so; I might rather take a 2nd in a step 4 (for 3500) than get to step 5 where 7 of 10 make nothing.
Any help is appreciated.
