Answer:

Pw = ( B - L ) / ( W-L )

Explanation:

pW  + pL = 1 ------ ( 2 )

Expected value after placing bet = W*pW + L*pL  ------ ( 2 )

pL = ( 1 - pW ) from equation 1

rewrite equation 2

W*pW + L*( 1 - pW ) ------ (3)

The condition to accept bet is ; W*pW + L*( 1 - pW ) > $B

= W*pW + L - LpW > $B  ( factorize )

= ( W - L ) * pW + L > $B

hence the value of Pw = ( B - L ) / ( W-L )
