You are, of course, right about the odds, but I take a different view of her choice. At the point when the banker offered her £125k that is what she actually held. She chose to put £50k of it at 5/2 on an even money shot. I wouldn't put £50k on the spin of a coin. I can't afford to risk that much, even if I had £75k left in my sweaty little palm. Chicken, I suppose, but I suspect there are a few more roosting on here. For the same reason I wouldn't play no limit 3 card brag with you (or HT for that matter). The cost of new underpants(and trousers probably) would outweigh any amount I might win from you.
