    Summary

    The gambler who employs a martingale strategy doubles his bet after every loss. Victory means a net gain equal to his original wager, as the doubling covers the debts incurred. In a fair game with equal chances, he assumes success is a guarantee so long as he keeps playing. He assumes that fate will be kind, that chance is on his side, that a flipped coin must eventually land in his favor—

    But the game is never fair.

    (The Devil and King Dice, and all that follows.)
