@kis: a story about losing money against your intuition if you repeat a game where you get 50% if the coin rolls over and 40% is taken if the coin rolls over. Even if 50% is increased, the increase at that point is 1/3 of the total, so it will be much less if 40% is taken out since 33% can be made back.
I should take the logarithm, but my “gut feeling” doesn’t tell me.
