Ahhh, Rapidash Races. I once managed to win 7 of those horse race thingies of in a row ^_^. And it's a very good suggestion for a casino.

Anyway, I'm gonna develop it if that's OK, since at this point you could bet on all 4, and other crazy things (If not, tell me):

Players bet 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 points on 1 Rapidash. The higher the bet, the higher the payout.

Each horse has a different chance to win.

Rapidash A wins 50% of the time, and for every 2 points paid, you get 3 back. A 2 point bet is 3 point return, a 4 point bet is 6 point return, etc. (After 10 races with 1 person placing 2 points per bet, casino gains 20 points, and pays out an average of 15 points)

---

Rapidash B wins 30% of the time, and for every 2 points paid, you double your money. (After 10 races at 2 points per bet by one person, 20 is paid in and an average of 12 points would be paid out)

---

Rapidash C wins 19% of the time, and for every 2 points paid, you get triple your money, but then take 1. If x is the bet and y is the payout, the formula is y = 3x -1 (2 point bets give 5, 4 point bets give 11, 6 point bet pays 17, 8 point bet pays 23, 10 point bet pays 29)

On average, after 10 races for 1 person with a 2 point bet, 20 points are taken in and approximately 10 points are paid out in return (Average). After 10 for 1 person with a 4 point bet, 40 points are taken in and 22 are paid out on average.

---

Rapidash D wins just 1% of the time. A win will earn you a flat 150 Points.

(Average gain over 100 races is 50)

As you can see, the casino clearly wins, but it's possibble to fine tune your bets. As it should be.

Gonna add to that point thing when I get the time. Perhaps I should be able to make 1 payment into a "casino bank", which is kept track of in this thread, so I don't have to keep going to the bank to play. And, money could be swapped easily between the 2, except limiting the number of times.
