Mathematicians might think that we sabotage our lottery preferences due to the "Allais Paradox".
My latest Decoded Science article, "The Probability of the Allais Paradox in Lottery Preferences", explains this effect and why it actually worries some mathematicians.

This paradox is especially interesting because it might actually lead mathematicians to consider alternatives to the logical and reasonable "Independence Axiom"...which it violates.
As always, I also promote my article in DeHaan Services, where "Lottery Sabotage by the Allais Paradox" adds a teaser for this topic.

Writing Tip
Today's writing tip combines a pair of golden oldies.
If you commit to a series of articles, then you should seize specific topics as they present themselves or, perhaps, based on what is most exciting.
With the "Probability" series just beginning, I had known that I wanted to explore paradoxes. The "Allais paradox" was new to me, but I thought it gave a fascinating insight into the conflict between math and psychology.
