Technically he should be getting $60 total. On 2/1 odds, his original bet gets returned on top of double what he bet (hence the 2/1 odds).
So his original $20 + ($20 x 2) = $60. At least that's how it works at the track
No. In your scenario I may be getting back $60, but since I already put $20 in, I'm only really making $40.
Neither of us actually put money in, so $20 doesn't need to be returned to me. Therefore, $40 is the correct payout (but I do like RollToad's idea).
