You walk into a casino, and you play roulette.
You bet
$10 on black,
lose
$30 on black
lose
$90 on black
lose
eventually
black comes out and you win.
I think the only thing stopping you would be the table limits?
This is stopping you - bet size: 10$-30$-90$-270$-810$-2430$-7290$-21870$-65610$-196830$-590490$-1,771,470$=2,657,000$
After only 12 reds.
It's stupid to risk millions of dollars to catch 10$ loss.
