The probability the gambler does not lose all n bets is 1 − q n. In all other cases, the gambler wins the initial bet (B.)

Note 2: The rule of two matchpoints for each pair beaten is easy to apply in practice: if the board is played n times, the top result achieves 2n−2 matchpoints, the next 2n−4, down to zero. When there are several identical results, they receive the average.
