How can you use “payoffs” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Since payoffs for each individual were derived in terms of risk of death, variation among soldiers' preference orderings was unlikely.
Yet despite this display of theoretical competence, there is no empirical evidence of non-kin cooperation in a situation, natural or contrived, where the payoffs are known to conform to a Prisoner's Dilemma".
If the distribution of the higher payoff X 1 is ~ N (1, 1), and the lower payoff X 2 ~ N (0, 1) then the probability of these two payoffs swapping rank is P(X 2 - X 1 > 0).
As an example, animals which cooperate to remove ectoparasites from each other by allogrooming have formerly been thought to be in a Prisoner's Dilemma [ 31 32 ] . However, because ectoparasite burdens vary greatly among individuals (in European badgers, Meles meles , some individuals are recorded as having no ectoparasites while others can have over 100), the relative payoffs for different strategies and, therefore, the game individuals find themselves in, will depend on the relative differences between actors [ 33 ] . In the case of the badgers, ectoparasites carry lethal diseases, so coming into contact to engage in cooperative allogrooming carries the risk of further contamination, as well as the prospect of having one's own ectoparasites removed.
But this logic is unlikely to hold, because if payoffs do indeed vary, then the variation itself will prevent such events from being systematic.
