EVEN MONIES Meaning and Definition

1. Even monies refers to a gambling term that describes a situation where the odds or potential winnings are exactly equal to the amount of money wagered, resulting in a payout that is equal to the original bet. In such cases, the return on investment is considered to be a one-to-one ratio, where the player receives an amount equal to their initial wager without any additional profit.

   The term is commonly associated with games of chance such as roulette, coin toss, or certain types of bets in sports betting. In these instances, even monies bets typically have a 50% chance of winning, making them a fair wager with a balanced risk and reward ratio.

   Even monies can also be applied in a broader context beyond gambling, where it represents a situation where two opposing options have an equal chance of occurring or an equal level of impact. It can be used to describe a fair or balanced proposition, without any favoritism towards one outcome over the other.

   Due to the balanced nature of even monies bets, it is often considered a conservative approach to gambling since the player stands to win or lose an equal amount. It provides a relatively safe, low-risk strategy, often favored by risk-averse individuals seeking to minimize their potential losses.

Etymology of EVEN MONIES

The term "even monies" is an idiomatic expression that originated in gambling and betting contexts. It is derived from the combination of the words "even" and "monies".

"Even" is derived from the Old English word "efen", which means "level" or "equal". It entered Middle English as "even" with the same meaning of "equal" or "equally divisible". Over time, the word "even" also acquired the sense of "fair" or "equitable".

"Monies" is simply the plural form of the word "money", which is derived from the Middle English word "moneie" and Old French word "monie". Ultimately, it can be traced back to the Latin word "monēta", meaning "mint" or "coinage".
