The frst time be loses, and he therefore
places at the end Of bis row aud in bis
column OF losses, as may be seen in the table
below. Adding the first and last dgures TO
ge.her, lie next bets $40 and, again losing,
places the figure 10 az tee end OF his row ard
IN the column Of losses. lie now, II pursuance
of the rule, bets Sl5. and losing again,
placeS Sl5 az the end of bis row and IN his
column of losses. Twenty dollars Is bis next
bet, but IS this time he wins he places the
20 IN the column OF winnings and strikes of
the FIRST Gnd last figures in his row, which are
and l5
Consequently, sti1 pursuing the rule, his
next bet is Sl5-the sum OF and l0-which
he wins, and that figure goes into the win
ning column and the figures and 10 are
stricken from the row. -Four figures now re-
mein-all Of them tlveS-apd adding the first
and last together the next bet IS $40, which
is lost, and the figure 10 goes AZ the end Of
the row and in the column Of losses. This
makes the next bet sis, which is lost, and
again Is goes az the end OF the row and
among the Losses. Now so IS the wager and
wins, and that amount having been placed in
the proper column the figures and l5 are
stricken from the row. This leaves 10 as the
lext BET, which wins again, which places
that figure in the fortunate column and re-
moves 10 and 5 from the row.
Now but two figures remains and each is q
: The bet IS $40 and II wins and the row is
wiped cat. and the frst experiment with the
system is at an end. The total Of losses IS s55
and the aggregate Of winnings is $50, show
ing 4 difference in favor CT the player Of ex-
accly So or Eve times tho original wager.
No matter how often this may be tried or
bow long fortune may p-ol0ng IL, the result
viii be the same. This sum IN gambling is
demonstrated 6y the following figures. The
letter -" shows the losses and the crosses
