Lets say you were betting 20 dollars on a game with a friend...triple or nothing?

Question

lets say bowling, so you lose the first game, go double or nothing on the second.... lose the second game, go triple or nothing on the third game.... lose, give me the right amount of money you owe or get back for the third game. for both case win or lose for the guy who lost the first two.

Answer 1

Depending on if you got paid per game, if so, then 20 for the first, 40 for the second and ( depending on if u tripled the 40, or the 20 ) 60 ( or 160 ) , And if your only getting paid for the last one, then 60 ( or 160, again, dpeending of if u tripled the 40 or the 20 )

Answer 2

Double or nothing usually means double what you are down. So after the first $20 loss, you'd be betting $20 again on the next game, so the original winner gets $40 (double) or gives you the $20 back (nothing). But, after losing twice, you are down $40, so you'd be making a $40 bet ($40 more to the original winner, or return the $40 you are down if you win).

Triple or nothing is not a bet you want to make unless you are totally superior to him and know you're going to win and he wants to quit. Since at this point you are down $80, triple or nothing would mean you are putting up another $160 (original $80 plus $160 = triple) against the $80 you have already lost. So if he wins, he walks away with a total of $240, and if you win you are returned the $80 you lost and everyone is back to even.

Anyway, when gambling on something like this, don't use the term "double or nothing" unless you are running a hustle. Just play a set amount like $20 a game. Double or nothing is a technique hustlers lose to get you to bet big after letting you win a couple game. (For example, after letting you get up $80 playing $20 a game, they'd say double or nothing. Then they'd win that game, and say "you just bet $80 on that game, let's play $80 a game again." Then they'd clean you out if you agreed.)

Answer 3

Assuming you are continuing on the first bet..triple or nothing would be $60 youu would owe if you lose and $0 you would get if you win.

Assuming that the bet ic a continuation of the second round then Triple or nothing would be $120 you could lose or $0 you qould owe if you win.

Generally it's the first scenario above!

Answer 4

after first game he has $20
after second he has $80. (he puts up 40, you put up 40)
Now is it triple or nothing the first amount $60, or triple or nothing the previous bet? $120?
In the first case, you lose you owe him 60, he has 100.
you win, he owes you 60, he still has 20.

Answer 5

40
-20.
20x2
40 or 0 if u loose
60 or 0 for the third.

either way, you will get a headache, take the bowling ball and threaten him with it.
