On the St. Petersburg Paradox

The classical St. Petersburg Paradox is discussed in terms of doubling strategies. It is claimed that what was originally thought of as a ''paradox'' can hardly be considered as very surprising today, but viewed in terms of doubling strategies, we get some results that look paradoxical, at least to the practically oriented investor.
