Right, but think of it this way:
1. He and she were close. If she bet it all and was correct, then the she would win.
2. If he bet a little, and she was wrong, he would win.
3. if he bet a lot and and was wrong, he would come in 3rd and win $1k.
4. If he bet a little and he was right, he would come in second and win $2k.
Therefore, he made the bet that would have make him the most money overall.
She was right; and she bet big. She only had one choice.
It was the right thing to do to walk away with the most money if he wasn’t 100% sure of the answer.
Thanks, makes a lot of sense.
I guess I was surprised that he didn’t know everything...LOL
