  abstract =     "We present a technique for computing the probability
                 that a specific pattern of successes and failures is
                 generated randomly before another such pattern, thus
                 winning the corresponding game. The program we build
                 for this purpose finds the mean and standard deviation
                 of the number of trials needed to complete one round of
                 such a game. It can be used to maximize the probability
                 of winning a game by choosing the best possible
                 pattern, and also by adjusting the probability of a
                 success. Finally, we verify our theoretical results by
                 a Monte Carlo simulation.",
