    Thank you.So...

    38.7<39.6=+EV

    So still call?
    It seems to me that these kind of barely +EV coin flips can only be +EV if you always call them.

    Example:

    If I flip a coin 100 times and villain gives me 51 cents to my 49 each time it hits heads I'm +EV,but if I don't call 25 of those flips I loose my advantage.I'm not sure if this is right but it has to have some value to the equation.

    Calling is +EV regardless of if you call or not.

    No if you dont call 25 of those flips you lose 25 % of your advantage. Ez game bro
    {Edit} The EV of each flip is 1 cent, so taking it every time we gain 1 dollar. If we dont take it 25 times we earn 75 cents instead. So we dont lose the whole edge we gain by taking the flip, if we choose not to take it some % of the time, just a bit of the edge.
