I've read some of your explanations but it will take some time till I finally understand it, I like the formula P(i,2|j,1)=i/T-J, but my question is could this formula(or some other fomula)be applied to n players?I think that would make a good software, you could input all players chips and get your $EV, ask the program to alert when a coin flip would be positive expectation, etc.
What are your ideas?

Bozeman does not visit here very often recently, so I woudn't expect him to notice this post and answer. However, Try looking for a thread called "the old coin flip debate" (about a month ago or so), Bozeman did post in that thread a pretty insightful answer, which is something like a conclusion in regard to several questions that were posed there.
