Default Re: A Much Simpler Version Of The \"Blackjack Paradox\"

Half the time they bet the same way, half the time they bet opposite ways.
When they bet opposite colors, one person has seen a red card, one has seen a black, so on average they will break even, ie. win 26 out of 52 bets on average.
When they bet the same way however, they have both seen the same color. Here they will win 26 out of 50 bets on average.
So altogether they win on average 26/51 bets.
