I don't know exactly what he'd be happy with, but if a win would yield "close" to the size of the bet, he'd be just as happy. Like, say 95% of the bet. A bet of $200 giving him a win of $190 with 50% would be appealing, I'm sure. But he certainly (I think?) would be unhappy with a bet of $250 netting him a $100 profit with 75% even though it's +EV.

Good ideas using the sports book/race track. I hadn't even considered that.

In that case I am confused as to his thought process. It seems that if winning twice his bet for a small additional risk is not appealing then winning half his bet for much less risk would be attractive. At any rate from your last response I revert back to my suggestion of betting on the banker in bacarrat. His edge is approximately 52% and he will collect 95% of his bet.
