Pieter Bruegel the Elder The Triumph of Death c1562

” … if he knows he will win…”
Define winning.
There are lots of behavior modification games by many players.
In game theory and economic theory, a zero-sum game is a mathematical representation of a situation in which each participant’s gain or loss of utility is exactly balanced by the losses or gains of the utility of the other participants. If the total gains of the participants are added up and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero. Thus, cutting a cake, where taking a larger piece reduces the amount of cake available for others, is a zero-sum game if all participants value each unit of cake equally.
If I get a bigger piece of cake, but if I convince you that every piece of cake are of equal value then I would have won.
Or perhaps “Zero-win” where “The only way to win is not to play.”
