If someone says to you, "I'll bet you $1 that if you give me $2, I will give you $3 in return", would this be a good bet for you to accept?

! think of it both ways...
 
no, cuz once u gave them the $1 then the $3 then they won't return them ever
 
No. It's just too good. if you give the $2 to him, he will have to give you $1+$3=$4.
 
No dude. If the friend takes the $2 and doesn't give you $3, he'll give you $1 back but keep the remaining $1. It's he's gain and your loss.
 
Two scenarios:

1) You lose the bet
I.e. You give him $2, he gives you $3 (you earned $1) but have to return him the $1 because you lost the bet. So nobody gets more money.

2) You win the bet
I.e. You give him $2, he doesn't gives you no money, so you win, and you get $1 back from him, you lose $1 in the end.

Not a good bet.
