doesn’t really fix the core of the problem

How so? The fine scales exponentially with the number of Bets in the Acca. Is the fine still not sufficiently large, or is there another problem that I’m missing?

Well ok, the fine itself doesn’t scale exponentially, but the multiplier of the fine does. I figured that scaling the 20 Readies by a power of N was too far.

the score of the problem is that meddling on different bets on the acca have massively different consequences if you get caught or not

You voted for the Acca, so are you just seeking the perfect solution for Meddling penalties, or would you rather not have any penalties at all?

I think it would be good for all Punters to understand the risks of Meddling in an Acca so that they balance their risk-reward tolerance appropriately, well before the end.

I also fear that what you’re suggesting would wind up being an unnecessarily complicated formula. I’m happy to be proven wrong, but I personally don’t care to expend the effort on it. The formula I proposed isn’t perfect, but it’s “good enough” in my eyes. I would definitely support a better one if you have it and it’s not too burdensome to figure out or calculate.

, again on grounds of an unsound formula. It should simply fine equal to the largest winnings of any bet in the Acca.
