Re: Basic math question
Breaking even means you must win the $4 5-times for ever 4-times you lose the $5. That means winning 5 times out of 9 which is about 55%.
Lets check. 55% times you win $4 - 45% times you lose $5. That's 55*4-45*5 = 220-225 = -5 over 100 attempts; pretty close to break even.

Actually is 55.56%.
