== Odds-Strategystrategy==
The odds-strategy is the rule to observe the events one after the other and to stop
on the first interesting event from index ''s'' onwards (if any), where ''s'' is the stopping threshold of output a).
 
The importance of the odds-strategy, and hence of the odds-algorithm, lies in the following Oddsodds-Theoremtheorem.

The Oddsodds-theorem states that
 
# The odds-strategy is ''optimal'', that is, it maximizes the probability of stopping on the last 1.
