Imagine if instead of Game B being dependent on your cash balance, let's say Game B is blackjack and your chances of winning depend on the number of 10s/face cards that have already been played.
If the collective number of 10s/face cards already played is <= 25%, you have a positive chance of winning and you play blackjack.
If the collective number of 10s/face cards already played is >= 35%, you have a negative chance of winning. You switch to roulette until the balance of 10s/faces works back in your favor.
I think that could be a winning strategy when playing blackjack and roulette together. LOL
Edited to add: I think the author's point is that there are games where you can calculate your chances of winning "this hand" even though your chances over time are negative, and you should avoid playing (switch to something where your chances are better) when your chances are low. Which is a bit of an obvious point for such a long article filled with graphs.
