What is the correct interpretation of the Gambling Results table in Xanathar's Guide to Everything?

$begingroup$


In Xanathar's Guide to Everything, one of the downtime options provided in "Downtime, Revised" allows a character to gamble during their downtime to earn extra money.




Gambling



Games of chance are a way to make a fortune—and perhaps a better way to lose one.



[...]



Gambling Results
begin{array}{|l|l|}
hline
text{Result} & text{Value} \ hline
text{0 Successes} & text{Lose all the money you bet, and accrue a debt equal to that amount.} \ hline
text{1 Success} & text{Lose half the money you bet.} \ hline
text{2 Successes} & text{Gain the amount you bet plus half again more.} \ hline
text{3 Successes} & text{Gain double the amount you bet.} \ hline
end{array}



—Xanathar's Guide to Everything, pg. 130




So if I place a bet of 100gp and make my checks against this table, how much would I have, for each category?

          This table describes how much money you would have after one week of gambling.



          begin{array}{|l|l|l|}
          hline
          text{Result} & text{Amount you have after Gambling} & text{Gain} \ hline
          text{0 Successes} & text{-100gp (a debt of 100gp)} & text{-200gp}\ hline
          text{1 Success} & text{50gp} & text{-50gp} \ hline
          text{2 Successes} & text{150gp} & text{+50gp} \ hline
          text{3 Successes} & text{200gp} & text{+100gp} \ hline
          end{array}



          You can instead think about it in terms of percentages:



          begin{array}{|l|l|l|}
          hline
          text{Result} & text{Amount you have after Gambling} & text{Gain} \ hline
          text{0 Successes} & text{-100%} & text{-200%}\ hline
          text{1 Success} & text{50%} & text{-50%} \ hline
          text{2 Successes} & text{150%} & text{+50%} \ hline
          text{3 Successes} & text{200%} & text{+100%} \ hline

            Are these tables from an official source? The wording of "Lose all the money you bet" and "Lose half the money you bet" implies that you still have your bet until the result takes place. But following these tables "Gain the amount you bet" would have to imply that you don't still have your bet. which seems contradictory.

            @Lunin For the record, there was considerable discussion about how the table is supposed to be interpreted, and the implication that a bookie would never allow someone to retain their bet after making a bet was used as justification for this interpretation of the table. There's definitely some ambiguity in how the rules are written though, so there may be a compelling case for an alternate interpretation of those rules...

            Honestly my knee-jerk reaction was the same as what you've said in your answer, but then I though that perhaps the person asking the question was confused by the ambiguity between "Gain" and "Lose" which the answer didn't seem to address fully and thus was curious if this table was an official clarification. (It honestly wasn't until after I posted my comment that I realized that you were both people, heh) If I have some time later I might post the alternative as an answer with the mechanical implications of each so DMs can decide how "good" gambling should be :)

            Honestly my knee-jerk reaction was the same as what you've said in your answer, but then I though that perhaps the person asking the question was confused by the ambiguity between "Gain" and "Lose" which the answer didn't seem to address fully and thus was curious if this table was an official clarification. (It honestly wasn't until after I posted my comment that I realized that you were both people, heh) If I have some time later I might post the alternative as an answer with the mechanical implications of each so DMs can decide how "good" gambling should be :)

            Are these tables from an official source? The wording of "Lose all the money you bet" and "Lose half the money you bet" implies that you still have your bet until the result takes place. But following these tables "Gain the amount you bet" would have to imply that you don't still have your bet. which seems contradictory.

            @Lunin The table quoted in the original post comes from Xanathar's Guide to Everything. The Tables quoted here are my understanding of what a correct interpretation of that table is. If you feel this interpretation is incorrect, you're welcome to submit your own answer.

            @Lunin For the record, there was considerable discussion about how the table is supposed to be interpreted, and the implication that a bookie would never allow someone to retain their bet after making a bet was used as justification for this interpretation of the table. There's definitely some ambiguity in how the rules are written though, so there may be a compelling case for an alternate interpretation of those rules...

          How to label and detect the document text images

          Image
          1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

          Tabula Rosettana

          Image
          Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
