I may not have the bext understanding of -EV and +EV, but I did read a post yesterday that summed up what I was trying to say. It essentially said --

If we bet on a coin toss, and you agreed to pay me $100,000 for each time it came up heads and I paid you $102,000 for each time it came up tails that would be slighting +EV for you. You would happily take the wager as it is +EV for you.

Now, what if I told you we would only flip the coin ONCE? Would you still take the bet?

The answer has to do with the size of my bankroll, and the risks I'm willing to take as a gambler, when facing a clear +EV decision.

The answer has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that there will only be "one coin flip" in this _particular_ game.
