Extract

Many of the common illustrations of probabilities are taken from games in which each hand, or trick, must necessarily be won by one player, and lost by the other. It becomes an interesting question to inquire what modification is introduced if we contemplate the possibility of a hand, or trick, being drawn—i.e. not won or lost by either player. The only difficulty lies in taking account of the limiting conditions.
