Default Re: Who pays the vig: The loser or the winner??

Good reasoning.

The bookie charged me "the winner" for the service of holding mine and Betty's bet. He is basically saying, "if you want Betty's money, I need to charge you."

EV has nothing to do with this as others have tried to state.

How can we get Sklansky, Malmuth, or Miller in here? It seems like something they would like to discuss (particularly Sklanksy)

Like I said, it is about interpretation.

It has everything to do with the ev of the vig if you want it to. There doesn't have to be just one correct answer.
