You can see, the way you come out ahead is if the multiplier is always more than 3 and in some cases more than 5 to 25.

In Our Opinion, Multipliers are a Loosing Bet that Do Not Improve the Odds of Winning Anything.

The multiplier would have to be at least 3 to 5 all the time in order to make it useful.
