If a tournament had 32 participants , then the probability you place in first may be slightly better than 1/32 . If your ROI is 100% then the probability you place 1st may be around 2/32 or 1/16 .

So you need to double up 5 times to win the tournament .
x^5=1/16 and so x ~57.5% . So there is some evidence to support calling 60/40 gambles even if you're an exceptional player .

Extremely well put.
