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?

What am I wrong about? You just made my point. My original point was that splitting the bet $ that you would put down on 1-6, half into 1-3 and half into 4-6 would net a higher payout regardless of which outcome hit. You yourself split your bet half on 1-3 and half on 4-6 so obviously you figured this out as well. I'm not sure what you're arguing here at this point as you're agreeing with what I've said all along.

I netted ~32k on my 40k bet by going with 20k on 1-3 and 20k on 4-6. If I had put the 40k on 1-6 I would have netted ~23k. So, the net winnings were ~9k greater by splitting it between the two outcomes. Had the KO come a round later (in 4-6) I would have net ~48k, more than double had I gone with the 1-6 bet.

Usually, it's not the case that if you split your $ between 1-3 and 4-6 that either outcome yields more net profit than going with your full amount on 1-6. Usually one outcome yields more and one less. Look at the odds on Canelo/Kirkland and Mayweather/Pacquiao. One of the outcomes (either 1-3 or 4-6) would pay out more than if you went with 1-6, and the other outcome would result in less. This is usually the case. It was NOT the case with the Kovalev odds, which is why I, and I assume you, split your money between the two outcomes.
