[and the NEW]

That said, the payout on rounds 1-6 was less than what the payout would have been had that bet been halved and placed on rounds 1-3 and 4-6, regardless of which outcome hit. Net on 1-6 for me on 40k would have been ~22k where net on 1-3 was ~32k which is what I yielded. Basically that's what I originally posted, that the net would be greater splitting any 1-6 bets into 1-3 + 4-6.

Brutal, you are wrong. You netted ~32k for your 20k bet on 1-3 (as it was a ~52k payout). But what happened to the other 20k you bet on 4-6? You lost that, right? So what was your overall net for your 40k layout, ~12k? Exactly.

Now if you bet that same 40k on 1-6 you would have netted ~23k (as the payout would have been ~63k)

I'm not sure how that can be any clearer?

The last time I recall that happening was odds I saw on Barrera/Fana which was probably 10 years ago. They actually posted the odds reversed... 5/2 instead of 2/5 which I capitalized on lol.

That was not a mistake from the oddsmakers. But it does happen. Some CFD providers used to provide prices for products (foreign exchange, commodities, shares etc) slightly lagging the futures markets. So you could just buy and sell quickly, already knowing what was doing to happen! hahaha. They would have lost millions on that. I know multiple people that made 10s of thousands each.
