Someone sent me a link to some threads that have been taking place on other forums. To say "brain dead" would be a little harsh, but clearly these children are missing the obvious truth:
Let us look at an example shall we? Let's say that I am shooting free throws against somebody and am winning $95,000. The bet is simple, each shot is worth $5000, if we both make, or both miss we break even.
Now for this example, let's assume that I'm an 80% shooter from the line, while my opponent is a 67% shooter making me a favorite.
Now, my opponent is down to $5000 and asks me to LITERALLY flip a coin for it and he'll then continue shooting hoops with me.
Well, the odds would obviously be 50-50 on the coinflip. Heads I bust him, tails and I get to continue playing as a substancial favorite.
Essentially, the better player is a HUGE favorite to win the coinflip! As long as the sucker would continue to shoot hoops with me, I would win that $5000 a very high percentage of the time.
Even if the sucker made a stipulation where every time he was down to $5000 we'd flip for it, I would get that $5000.
To pass up on the proposition to flip the coin would be passing up on substancial +EV since I would essentially be getting odds on the coinflip.
I'd have a 50% chance to win it right away, but even if I lose that coinflip it would allow me to have another bet where I'll make 4 out of 5 baskets compared to my opponent who will only make 2 out of 3.
Class dismissed.
