Not sure if you get it or not but my take is if the odds are in your favour then the more times you run it the better the chance of getting the more likely result. If the odds are against you the less times you run it the less chance for the true odds to come through. However the difference between running it twice or once this might be slim although be interested if someone can demonstrate if his advice is good or bad.

There is no difference to your EV, but running it twice does reduce variance. So if you were playing above your head, you might pass up a big bankroll-crippling bet where you were a small favorite, but you might be less likely to pass it up if you could run it twice. The "best" advice is simply to play within your bankroll and then not to worry about it. Running it twice will have no effect in the long run when properly rolled.
