Is Spider Always Winnable?

Q. Is the game Spider always winnable?

A. No, but it appears that it is usually winnable with a few exceptions. A game of Spider will be unwinnable if there are no possible plays in the final 10 card deal. When this happens, the game is blocked and cannot be won. This does not happen very often.
