Do the Math

He's kept the same chip for eleven years. It's not about luck — it's about knowing the numbers.

Coloring page: Do the Math, starring Sharp Pascal

Pascal lost money on a game once because he didn't understand it. So he learned exactly how it worked, all the way down. Before you decide a game's unfair, learn the real rules — most of the time, it's not luck or cheating, it's just math nobody explained to you yet.

Color in Pascal and the one chip he's held onto all these years. Why do you think he keeps just the one?

About Sharp Pascal

Lost real money he couldn't afford at a blackjack table at twenty-two, and instead of swearing off games for good, went home and read every book on probability, game theory, and casino mathematics he could find. He didn't become a professional gambler — he became someone who plays correctly and teaches other people to do the same. The one chip he's kept for eleven years isn't a trophy. It's the proof, not the prize.
