Abstract
Suppose two separate players A and B are playing a game. They are playing to n number of games (n is an integer) and the current result is 2-1 in favor of A. suppose they are to stop abruptly and want to find out who had the biggest chance of winning. Each of them has 50% chance of winning a game. We tackled the problem of how big is A’s chance of winning in this paper and a mathematical model was derived to take care of n number of points where n is an integer. . the mathematical model was used to calculate some probabilities of getting to a point first in a game involving two persons. The results were tabulated and a graph drawn for pictorial view of the results. We discovered that the probability of getting to a point first is tending to unity as the number of games progresses
