Zero-Sum Game

Horse Racing, poker and gambling are popular examples of zero-sum games since the sum of the amounts won by some players equals the combined losses of the others. In game theory, the game of “Matching Pennies” is often cited as an example of a zero-sum game. ... This is a zero-sum game because one player's gain is the other's loss.

Zero-sum is a situation in game theory in which one person's gain is equivalent to another's loss, so the net change in wealth or benefit is zero. A zero-sum game may have as few as two players, or millions of participants. Zero-sum games are found in game theory, but are less common than non-zero sum games.

In contrast, non-zero-sum describes a situation in which the interacting parties' aggregate gains and losses can be less than or more than zero. A zero-sum game is also called a strictly competitive game while non-zero-sum games can be either competitive or non-competitive.

Only Goblok will embark on this game. (Yes indeed I am too (indeed a biggest Goblok) - And I sincerely hope that you're not ! - ROFLMAO)

It is right frame of your mind, your state of mind and your mindset. There is no magic wand whereby you can wave to get your winners or for your success, no Holy Grail, no such thing as Doctor Seuss Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme, and there's no such thing as make-believe Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns.

Yes indeed my dear friends. Not unless you are a goblok, shiok sendiri, kuning (jaundice), a dope, clueless, simpleton, gullible, intoxicated, hallucinated, senile, brain-dead or a biggest idiot including the highly educated and well educated but without wisdom.

It is in fact meme - which is an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means.
