Glossary of Option Terms: Zero-Sum Game

Zero-Sum Game

Definition: When one participant's gains result in another's equivalent losses.  The total wealth's net change is zero, but it's moved from one to the other.  Gambling and chess is a good example of this, as are options, because for everyone who gains on a contract, there is someone who loses.  This concept was first developed through game theory.
