Hi Paul,

I'll have a look at this issue sometime today and will write an update 
if it changes anything.

Thank you.

And Josh,

I get the exact same results with you but what I dont understand is why 
you think that the results are normal. I dont understand why it looses 
twice as much when you bet randomly (if its not the problem Paul 
mentioned above). It would be great if you can tell me how you 
calculated what the results should be.

Thanks.
Semih
