Are you going to call me a dumass or moron or idiot for pointing out your error?
It does increase the payoff on a wager if you’re sure they’re going to honor the rebate. Again, looking at it from a single bet standpoint, you put a million on the table, but you were never going to lose a million. You were only going to lose $800,000, so effectively, you’re betting a million to win a million, but you’re only risking $800,000 to win a million.

Admittedly, this assumes they would definitely make good on the rebate.
Perhaps I'm using different definitions than you? Wager = amount bet. Payoff = odds that the bet is paid.

What I was saying, for example, is that a blackjack wouldn't be paid at 6:2 instead of 3:2 because of a loss rebate.

Yes if you increased your bets because you had some rebated money you would win more but mickeycrimm specifically said "the same amount of total wager."
