    11.05% of the time you lose 900

    Or play twice.

    48% squared is 23.04%.

    76.96% of the time you win 200
    23.04% of the time you lose 400

    Either way, it's +EV unless you go down 900 and decide to keep going (which is what gets you buried any day in the casino).
    This is why I think in the long run this promo is a winner for the house.

    Far more people play this promo wrong than play it correctly.

    if you're right, then we should see SBR offer it more frequently. We'll see, but I highly doubt that happens.

    what you can do as a gambler is always always always play positive expectation situations to the best of your ability..hell its not even gambling if you do that...
