Here's an example: if I were to tell you, let's play a little coin toss game, and I'm going to flip a coin, and if it comes up heads, I'm going to pay you 10 dollars, but you have to pay four dollars for the privilege of playing with me, most of you would say, sure, I'll take that bet. Because you know that the odds of you winning are one half, the gain if you do is 10 dollars, that multiplies to five, and that's more than I'm charging you to play. So, the answer is, yes.
Her er et eksempel: Hvis jeg fortalte dig, lad os spille et lille spil møntkast, og jeg vil slå plat og krone med en mønt, og hvis det bliver krone, vil jeg give dig 10 dollars, men du skal betale 4 dollars for privilegiet af at spille med mig, de fleste af jer ville sige, "ok, det væddemål er jeg med på". Fordi I ved at oddsene for at I vinder er halvdelen, og gevinsten er 10 dollars, det ganges til fem, og det er mere end jeg afkræver jer for at spille.
