Heads I win, Tails I lose.

Akshit took out a coin of his pocket and said to me, 'Heads I win, Tails I lose. I bet half the money in my pocket.'
He tossed and lost. And the game continued for number of times, each time betting half the money in his pocket. We don't remember how many times the coin was tossed or how long the game went, but he lost exactly the same no. of times as he won the bet.
What do you think, did he, on the whole, gain or lose?
