So, in order for him to have owed me 40 Euro....I should've just said "double"?
I swear I've never had this problem occur before...

thing is...even if your way was correct(and 40 was the amount bet in the 2nd wager [thus a total of 60 for both bets]...wouldnt he only owe you 20?...since youlost 20 the first round

1) the phrase is double or nothing
2)as a gambler this won't make sense, you have to have something to gain
rewards and consequences
Fam just yelled this out because he heard someone else say it

.....ok.
Say son wins the first round. I know owe him 20 Euro.
I ask him to run it back, double or nothing. In my mind this means, the initial 20 Euro bet is canceled out and we're now playing for 40 Euro...winnertakes all.
If he wins, I owe him 40 Euro. If I win, he owes me 40 Euro.
I've been playing like this for years.
Double or nothing was like one of us leaves with double what we originally bet and the other leaves with nada...
So no one else in the world plays like that???

makes sense
he put 20 in at first, he won your 20. He has 40
You play again...
you win, you get 40
if you lost, you get nothing.

Let me ask you this...
If you win, according to you, he owes you 40 euro?
If he wins, according to you, you owe him 40 euro?
He already has twenty euro that he won, so essentially, he is betting 60 euro to your 20 euro for that scenario to be right?
Read that again, does that make any sense where anyone would want to make that bet?
I think not.
Off yourself

what incentive does the guy have to go for the bet though?...he just won 20 off you.
it makes no sense for him to give up 20 for the chance to only win 20 more...while you get the chance to win 40 more.
again...where does the "or nothing" come into play with your rules?

Now thats just a dumb way to play. What's even scarier is that your friends that you've played w/ in the past agreed to this.Originally Posted by Illuztrious

that's ridiculous to cancel the original money owed from the first bet. He already has 20, why would he not want the original twenty. In thiscase, you would have pretty much all to gain and he would be losing out. it would be (to him) win an extra twenty, or lose forty, whereas you would either owetwenty more or gain forty. You see it doesn't add up. You would have gotten the better deal and this "double or nothing" wouldn't make sensesince the nothing' isn't involved anywhere. Doulbe or nothing, like many nters have stated is when the winner of the prior game has a chance todouble his money and the loser of the prior game has a chance to bring his loss back to nothingOriginally Posted by Illuztrious

Your even.
If he won you would owe him $40. If he would owe you $40 what would be his incentive to play again?
