Re: A Less Obvious Martingale Fallacy

Why put an artificial limit on this?

Because there are limits. Using infinity is an artificial abandonment of constraint -- and why you can't define the expected outcome of the game.
My calculation would require a definition of zero (impossibility), and I have seen people define it differently for different purposes. But once that limit is defined, we can apply it to a lifetime of play and achieve that confidence level.
I don't know what to do with infinity [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
