So I'm a little confused. You can only use this $100 token once, and you have to bet at least $100 of your own to go with it, but can bet more?
I think I disagree with your logic a little regarding EV:
If you win, you win $200, yes. But if you lose, you lose $100 - both the $100 token and your actual $100. So the EV for a $100 bet would be
EV = 0.49*200 - 0.51*-100 = 47
I really can't make any sense of your second question. Are you saying, OK, I'll play 1 $100 match bet (my $100 + their $100), and then N $100 regular bets (my $100), how high is N before my EV is 0?
