Answer

I would stop playing and leave with the $10000 free of tax

Explanation

The truth in such games is that they are not designed to be exactly 50/50. There are possibilities for outcomes that will tie or loose. Furthermore, a game that is really 50/50, the house will deduct some commission. These games always have a room for the house advantage, thus for me, I will just go with $10000 fortune!
