Care to share your work?

I don't see why they would offer a bet and not have the best of it.

I've posted the EV in several different threads now. I don't know what is so difficult about it. Obviously Vince did no work. He might have been joking with the 0 because if you do not bet then your EV is 0.

Yeah, it's amazing. Someone posts the correct math with working and noone wants to believe it or pay it any heed. This is what makes poker is such a great game.

-15%

EV = $8 *(1/8.5) - 1 *(7.5/8.5) = .94 - .88 = -6.25%

EV = $7 *(1/8.5) - 1 *(7.5/8.5) = -5.88%

The payout is 8 FOR 1, which means 7 TO 1, not 8 TO 1. Otherwise it would be +EV.

Thanks all, this "8 for 1" explanation makes everything clear.

That is very sneaky of them.
