Re: Am I stupid? I can\'t fit these two concepts into any type of harmony.
Actually it is because you can define each step up as reaching a certain goal like +1000 BB, say and each step down as -1000 BB. Since you have an edge your probability of reaching +1000 BB before reaching -1000 BB is greater than 50%.
Of course if you do it this way then your ultimate goal of 1 trillion BB becomes 1 billion "steps" which is not exactly the same number, but the principle remains the same and the result will still be that you have greater than a 99.999999999 (tack on a few more if you like) % chance of winning.
