A zero sum situation was originally used to describe a situation in a two-player game where the winnings of one player had the same numerical value as the losses of the other player. The sum (allowing for losses to have a negative sign), therefore, was zero. The phrase is now used to describe a situation where the gains made by all the winners has the same value as the losses made by all the losers. The net sum = zero.
