Price Repeated Bets

Count the Wagers

The same money can be wagered repeatedly. One hundred initial bets of $10 add up to $1,000 of initial stakes, even if some returned money is used again. This is why a deposit and the amount wagered are different quantities.

Apply the Rate

At a hypothetical 2% house edge, $1,000 in wagers has an expected loss of $20. This is an average from the model. It is not a prediction that a particular session will end $20 down.

Keep the Model Honest

The comparison fixes a number of bets. It does not stop after a bankroll runs out. Blackjack doubles and splits can require extra money, and a craps bet can span several rolls. Read each profile’s counting rule before comparing costs.

Check Your Understanding.

What are the initial stakes across 100 bets of $10 each?
