the game of penny ante

[hanshuckebein]

hi folks,

I know that penny ante can't be applied to roulette on a 1 to 1 basis.

still I think it's an interesting toppic and might be worth wrapping some brains around it.

to help those who don't know this game you'll find some explanation here:

I've also attached a pdf file.
