My problem is 'start'.What does it add to the meaning?
The underlined clause doesn't contain 'start'.

I don't like and winning. And win would work though.
Start here emphasizes the change that takes place between losing most of the time, and winning quite often.

"Sooner or later, you will start turning the tables, winning as many games as you lose.
Here, the latter part is an adverbial phrase which describes how you will start turning the tables.

"Sooner or later, you will start turning the tables, and (will start) winning as many games as you lose.
