    hmm

    well it seems like for the $100 bet you are making $5 every bet (assuming you can play out this scenario an infinite amount of times and completely negate variance)

    for the $50 bet you are also making $5 every bet.

    So when you are only considering the size of the bet and the equity and nothing else, they are exactly the same. When you bring in other considerations one might be favored over another. For example, if your bankroll is small relative to these stakes you would want the smaller bet because you make the same amount of money but you risk a smaller chunk at one time.

    This right?

    Nope.
