I.

Intro:
a. Attention Getter:
From poker to games shows and interrogation there is one unifying concept that
ties them all together
b. Thesis: Two-Person Zero-Sum game theory can be used to
calculate what the best choice of action is to achieve victory
II.

Body (Minimum Three Arguments; Minimum Five Sources)

a. Argument 1: Golden balls(A) and the prisoner's dilemma(D) are all
controlled by the nash equilibrium
i. Example: In the golden balls split or steal one
character achieved victory through manipulating his opponents
psychological state and minimizing his own loss.(E)
ii. Analysis:This is important to the thesis because
it shows how he achieved success while explaining it. This relates back to
the thesis because the way he did it helped to manipulate so that his
partner would go for the choice that is the nash equilibrium.
b. Argument 2: By using the nash equilibrium you can
Maximize profit.(B)
i. Example
In the prisoner's dilemma if both criminals use they can get the least amount of
years to serve
ii. Analysis how/why important to thesis:
This is important because by searching and striving for the nash
equilibrium you can minimize the risk that you and your group suffer thus
maximizing profit.
c. Argument 3: By calculating the best choice in Two-Person ZeroSum game theory you can decipher the method to achieve conquest
i. Example In a two person zero sum game by
calculating the outcome using different math equations and functions
ii. Analysis this is important because if you calculate
your probability of winning to losing you can efficiently decipher what
could lead to your downfall and what could help you gain a competitive
edge over the enemy

III.

Conclusion
a. Review thesis: By using game theory you can skew the results to
be in favor for your group and achieve the best
b. Memorable statement (call to action): Though the use of game
theory it can enable you to crush the competition and put your team on top
