Thanks for explaining in such detail.
I think I understand the concept of "The same expectation for each round".
Now I would like to move forward with something that was not mentioned in the paper.
In blackjack, on the first round, on average, more big cards(ten's) are used.(you have to agree of this before continue). When asked why the expectation for the second round is the same even though there are more small cards in the remaining cards, it seems that not all of the experts here know how to explain it.
And suprisingly, Edward Thorp even participated in the discussion. (Has this ever happened before?)"

The two questions are solved, "The same expectation for each round", and "The same expectation for each round even if the running count is not the same"
Now my third question: If the running count drops on average after the first round, would it drop even more after the second round, and the third round, and so on?

[Randomly shuffled deck of 2 red and two black cards. There are six equally probable sequences.
Draw until first red card appears.]
In Thorp's example, more red cards are drawn both the first round and the second round.
