Abstract
This paper establishes a game-theoretic version of the classical
Blackwell-Dubins result. We consider two forecasters who at each step issue
probability forecasts for the infinite future. Our result says that either at
least one of the two forecasters will be discredited or their forecasts will
converge in total variation.
