"Losing to Win," by Ivars Peterson. Science News, 15 January 2000, page 47.
This brief piece describes a counterintuitive new result in game theory. It turns out that two games of chance that give a player mostly losses over the long term can, when played repeatedly with random switches between the two games, produce a winning outcome. Researchers in Australia demonstrated this effect using a combination of two losing gambling games.
