Zero-Sum Game

A Zero-Sum Game happens during the following situation:

We have two distributions \(X\) and \(Y\). A “Zero-Sum Game” is a case where:

\begin{equation} P(success) = P(Y > X) \end{equation}

(because \(Y>X \implies X< Y\), so there’s no case whereby a situation can both “cause success”).
