Wesmip,

Consider this simple level-stakes game:

0% = Edge = LOT = POT
1/3 = Strike Rate
5 = Bank
Lose if Bank busts
Win if Bank doubles

With some effort you should be able to map it out on a spreadsheet.

And you should find:

-5 52% Lose
+5 31% Win
+6 17% Win


I believe that no matter what staking ritual or Bank you choose for this game you will never get your win strike rate above 50%.

Hence your claim of a 70+% win strike rate for a negative game is wrong.

But if you still believe that you can improve on 50% then you should be able to demonstrate how.

Obviously this challenge is open to all.
