Example Wey We Work Out
One win for 5 and then one loss for 10 dey give +5 − 10 = −5, so di next bet go back to 5. Three wins and then one loss dey give +5 + 10 + 15 − 25 = +5. If all four bets win, di net na 5 + 10 + 15 + 25 = +55. Di 25-unit win dey produce 50 units total return including im own stake, but na only 25 of dat return be profit.
