Abstract

We compare the power of betting strategies (aka martingales) whose wagers take values in different sets of reals. A martingale whose wagers take values in a set A is called an A-martingale. A set of reals B anticipates a set A, if for every A-martingale there is a countable set of B-martingales, such that on every binary sequence on which the A-martingale gains an infinite amount at least one of the B-martingales gains an infinite amount, too.
