You are playing a game of chance in which four cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. You guess the suit of each card before it is drawn. The cards are replaced in the deck on each draw. You pay \(1 to play. If you guess the right suit every time, you get your money back and \)256. What is your expected profit of playing the game over the long term?
