When will the Washington Generals win?

Question

I recently came up with a foolproof strategy for making money. I bet $1, and then if I lose that I'll bet $2. If I lose that I'll bet $4, and keep doubling it if I keep losing. Eventually I'll win one and recover my losses. I've been betting on the Washington Generals to beat the Harlem Globetrotters, but so far they've lost a bunch of times in a row. I had to sell my car.

Don't you think the Generals are due for a win soon?

Answer 1

Eventually they will win... Don't give up hope!

Answer 2

They have to be due.  Nobody can lose all their games.  They'll win eventually.  If you need to, just mortgage your house and/or your soul.

Answer 3

Sounds like a good strategy to me. Of course you could just consult a psychic like I do. But then again I've just had to take out a 2nd mortgage on my house. I just haven't found a true psychic yet though I'm sure. Don't you think I'm about due to find one though?

Answer 4

The quail of doom concurs.  they are do for a win.   would you like to play strip betting.  i will take the globetrotters seeing as how i enjoy being nekid.

Answer 5

I'd still do you, though.

Answer 6

It should happen any time now, just keep betting.  You still have a house to sell, I hope.

Answer 7

The Bible itself says, "All things come to those who wait."

That was either the Bible or Oprah, same thing.

Answer 8

Or you could just start betting on the Globetrotters every time.  But what do I know?

Answer 9

Never bet against the globetrotters!

Answer 10

If they ever play the Sacramento Kings, it's a lock for the Generals.

Answer 11

That's why there are betting limits. Don't pursue this strategy.
