How strong can the Parrondo effect be?
Abstract
If the parameters of the original Parrondo games A and B are allowed to be arbitrary, subject to a fairness constraint, and if the two (fair) games A and B are played in an arbitrary periodic sequence, then the rate of profit can not only be positive, it can be arbitrarily close to 1 (i.e., 100%).
