Still trying to do the math

What am I doing wrong?

Double take win 100%

No double take win = -2-3 = 60%

No double take lose = -4-1 = 17%

Double Take Lose = 0%

Risking 17% to gain 40%

17/(17+40)=17/57=30% = Doubling point

Cash point

Take and win = 100%

Drop = 40%

Take and lose = 0%

risking 40% to gain 60%

1-(40/(40+60)) = 60%

Doubling window 30%-60%

shots that hit = 15/36 = ~41.5%

return misses = 25/36 = ~69.5%

hits * misses = ~29%

29% < 30% so no double
