I suggest you learn some mathematics before you rant in future.

All the bets involved are finite.

Which, according to you, require "unlimited resources"...we
can put Las Vegas out of business, as long as we make a "finite"
series of bets with an infinite amount of money...you're a genius!!!

But it's like I've said before...you guys have GOT to stick to
the return value of main() because everything else on planet
Earth is just too complicated for you...
