    We play the following game of tossing a coin: We make a bet before each toss. The bet may be at most as large as all the money we have. Then we make a guess on the result. If our guess is right, we will receive the double of the bet, otherwise we will lose it. Determine those values of kk>1 for which there exists an integer nnwith a strategy such that the probability of receiving kk times our initial amount of money in at most nn games is at least 1k\frac{1}{k} .
