Someone proposes a metagame: play a series of the original game, and if you win more games than your opponent, you win. But, there's a proviso: It must be an even number of games, and there's no tie-breaker, so again, it's not like tennis.
Your only strategy is to pick the actual, even, number of games. What's the choice of number of games that will minimize your probability of loss in the metagame?
