This is nitpicky but, I think correct - please correct me if I'm wrong.

you are wrong.

if it is less than 50%, the bet has negative expectation, so you should not make it. end of story. it has nothing to do with the rest of the pot. (continuing with 45/55%) Run it 100 times and you will lose 5 big bets. Why would you want to do this? It is unreasonable to think he might fold a better hand but will also call with a worse hand.

It must be greater than 50% for you to bet.
