Gee i did not want to start a war...lol....i agree with Freddy...as i put my bets on indevidualy for the all up...i would take the total amout invested.....i have been thinking about this and if you take each bet as an andividual then you must take each collect as one...see if you think this works
bet$10 wim $2x$2x$2
1st outlay $10
return $20

2nd outlay $20
return $40

3rd outlay $40
return $80

total outlay $70
total returns $140
top 100%

i guess at the end of the year if you have more money than you started with then you are in front...and thats what counts
