casino tournament strategy by stanford wong
page 86 of the book:
secret last bet if you are BR2;
bet half the max plus half BR1's lead plus a chip
Problem:
Max bet 500 units of bet by 25 only
BR1 has 5700 BR2 has 5550
BR1 bets 500
Book suggests 250 + 75 + 25 = 350
If BR1 and BR2 both lose
BR1 = 5200 BR2 = 5200
If BR1 wins and BR2 doubles
BR1 = 6200 BR2 = 6250
So what is the optimum bet whereby BR2 wins with a double and also wins if both lose ?
The problem may lie in the fact that BR2 cannot put a bet of 330 as units must be 25...
Anybody witha view please?
Many thanks.
