hi be careful

thanks for the comment i understand exactly what you are saying and no its not the cold.

however with all up you are committing the winning funds to the next bet.

so as per the example the first bet wins and the second one loses

bet $5 return 25 + 5=30 next bet $30 loss $5

as per doubles board.
bets $5 first wins second bet loses loss $5

so the bet loss is the same but the psychological feeling is that the loss is greater on the all up bet when in actual dollars it isn't.

On the other side the win of both would feel pyschologically better with the doubles board as you have just scored a 40/1 win on $5.

on the all up you have a 5/1 winner and a 8/1 winner.

so in fact you have a better return from the all up.

But you feel that you have risked more on the second bet when in fact you have risked the same $5.

i hope this doesnt sound too far fetched but how ones nerves are is an important part of betting and what ones perception is.

As you can see the notion may not illustrate the fact.

Its interesting when you think about how a regular punter sees things.
