    immediately with these comments, and our previous discussion of how previous outcomes
    do not affect future outcome possibilities, you should realize that this betting method
    offers nothing more than a quicker realization of losses or gains.

    Another way to visualize this quicker realization is actually an increase in risk.
    This bettor will experience extremely unpredictable volatility most likely.
