If you hide the paths you have used, there is no way, without peeking, that anyone else can Tel wish paths yo have used, but that is immaterial.
The point is that whatever paths you have used, by the time the maximal infinite binary tree finally exists, there are paths in it that you did not use.

Until I know which paths you used, I can only guess, but if I guess slyly enough, and your set of paths is countable, the odds are greatly in my favor. > > > > > Every node of path p and every set of nodes > > > of path p is covered by one or more paths of P. > > > > Indeed, one *or more* paths of P. > > The set of nodes in path p is > > not covered by one path in P. > > Ok.

Is your set of paths countable (and actually counted or listed, at least algorithmically), and recorded with a neutral referee?
If 'yes' to both, you would almost certainly lose at any stakes.
All your opponent would have to do is use the "Cantor antidiagonal" to your own list of paths, which you cannot ever include in that list.
