by hitting 75% you're wasting the 55% winners that will also give you the profits.. as long as winning % x odds is over 100 you should make the bet..

example: you flip a coin and give me 2.05 on heads and 1.95 on tails.. thats roughly 50/50 in the long run so I'd be an idiot if I skipped betting on heads... the value on heads would be 2.05 x 50 = 102.50 , 2.50% profit in the long run
