Am i missing something or does that mean that if he losses it only costs him 50%?
But winning would give him 100%, wouldnt that statistically shift the 49-51% to something like 25-75%,
Betting 10 btc could earn him almost 10btc while losing would cost about 5 right? and that with a win chance of almost 50%
wrong
he gets 50% of the HE of his wager
he wins 10 BTC or loses 10 BTC
Maybe i shouldn't have put the 25-75% up because that brings confusion about the edge,
But when he loses he gets back 50%btc, when you would do the calculations that would mean he would have to lose way longer or more than he needs to win. How does that not give an edge?
That means losing costs him 50% right? while winning gives him 100%
So please reread again as you are saying the same thing.....
Or to make it clear for me so i understand better, if he would bet 10btc and lose them, how much would he receive back?
