Do you bet less money, lowering your potential loss but also lowering your chance to win? Or do you bet a lot of money, making it less likely you'll lose but also IF you lose, then you'll lose a lot? Do you even bet at all? How much would you personally bet? If you had $100k bankroll, how much should you bet?

I remember taking my companion thru the mechanics of a bet. I told her you are betting twenty dollars in order to win ten dollars She was instantly opposed to such an absurd notion but the very next roll was a four and she won, so therefore she became less perturbed.
A lot would depend upon timing but if I had 100 grand as a bankroll i'd go no more than 40 grand.

The win is still $1 either way.
I would wager $10 for a 9 out of 10 chance to win that same dollar.
Lot less risk for same reward

On the flip side if you bet 1 USD is it 50/50? That would seem the best option.

I guess I didn't word it how I wanted to word it. What is the absolute MOST that you would wager on this? You say $10, but would you do $100? What about $10,000 or $100,000?

No. Betting $1 would be a guaranteed loss. I mean, if you are that opposed to variance and want to play a game without any variance at all, that's not a bad option.
Quote: AyecarumbaHow many times can you bet? Could I risk $1B for 10k rounds? That's less risk and more reward than bonds.
Yeah sure, if you have a billion dollars! And no one’s gonna loan that to you.
