Default Re: Is this game solveable?

What do you mean by "optimal"?

Under the usual criterion of maximizing your return, it's a non-question. Every possible wager has break-even expectation. You put in X chips, he puts in Y chips; you have X chances to win Y and Y chances to lose X.

The only thing you can choose is how big you want your variance to be. Whooppee.
