There COULD be an argument for when tc is going to be sunk by a bet, the tc that would be sunk goes back to the original better.

There is however not really much of an argument for cancelling bets altogether when there are counters, as you are stopping someone from earning tc when they would have won a bet, multiplying the tc they had by 5. Unless there was also a rule that you had to pay the amount of money the person would have won to them canceling their bet is completely unjust

The argument "its bullshit when noone counters" isnt very good either for the reasons hobo said.
If youre clearly going to win who will bet against you?
and if you bet high and you lost, you would lose the tc anyway and you took the risk of doing the bet in the first place

it all comes back to "bet at your own risk"
