Could somebody explain FE calcs to me

Wait, spotted my own mistake, that would have to be

40= (x*200)*(x*-40)



If I've worked this out correctly, x=25%, is that right?

Ok so using the following

0= (x+200) + (1-x) * (25%*380-75%*180)

I simplify down to

0 = (x+200) + (1-x)* -40

Which I now write as

0 = (x+2...

Yes, that's correct Wink
But just for practice/experience sake, I'd change the numbers a bit to see which changes have which effec...

Ok, I've tried it with some different numbers

Pot: 525
bet: 300
Eq: 40%

0=x*525+(1-x) x (330-180)

Or 0=x*525+(1-x) x 150

So to get the value...

Wait, If I'm multiplying a number by 0 it becomes 0.

Therefore (1-x) * 0 = 0

So it becomes 0= (x*200) + 0

So 0= x * 200

To get 200 to 0 I multiply it...

Ok, so we don't count our bet in the winnings, I get that now.

So I get as far as solving everything to the right of (1-x)

Leaving

0=(x*200)+( (1-x)*0 )

Sorry guys, I'm still not getting this. Just showing me the working out doesn't help me at all. Like I said, I need the Why of every step explained to me. Could somebody please go through my lon...

If somebody could explain the why's as we simplify down, instead of just what to do, it will make it easier for me to grasp
