I don't expect manga to have perfect logic but I made a collection of stuff that seems like even an elementary school kid could've thought better.
One Outs - This is the story about some Godlike pitcher that makes Zeus's Halladay look like a scrub. This guy can pitch 7 Perfect Games back to back without breaking a sweat. In the final arc where his team goes against another team for the championship, the guy retired and revealed that the other team fell into a trap by preparing against him and neglecting the other pitchers on the team. I know they do everything slightly different in Japan compared to the rest of the known universe, but I'd think you'd indeed focus against a pitcher who can throw 7 Perfect Games back to back because otherwise it's a very fast way to lose the series. Even if for some reason they can only prepare against one guy due to a lack of resources, it's obviously the safer bet to prepare against a pitcher with superhuman endurance and power.
Silver & Gold - Two guys are playing a variant of Five Card Draw Poker where the guy with more money ALWAYS WINS. It seems like the rule is set up such that if you can't meet a raise you automatically lose and you can only raise another raise (don't ask me how they ever have more than one hand in this game). Guy A used the pocket cam to confirm he already won this hand, but Guy B has more money (or so Guy A thinks). In the final round of betting, Guy A offers to stop raising at 1 billion and show their hands, and since that's breaking the rules he's willing to forfeit 100 million and throw away the hand.
First, I am not aware of a variant of any gambling game where the guy has more money automatically wins in real life, but again this is in Japan so we got to make allowance for biazrre stuff.
Now if you're guy B, you either:
1. Really have more money than guy A.
2. Or not.
If you're in the #1 position, then obviously you'd just keep on raise and ignore both offer, so the proposal has no point.
If you're in the #2 position, you'd just take the 100 million and both guys started with similar money ($1.X billion roughly). This puts Guy B at +200 million and since this is a game wherever whoever has more money wins in the end, Guy A is doomed.
Either way, Guy A is already doomed to lose anyway, and his proposal would make no difference regardless of what cards Guy B has or how much money he may have had.
In fact, for such a game, if you suspect the other guy has more money than you, you should just quit the game immediately because you will always lose if the guy raised more than you have in total money!
I realize the guy is probably going with something like Texas Hold'Em where you can try to bluff your way to victory without the best hand, but the 'no call' rule makes it rather different from Texas Hold'Em. In fact if you're not allowed to ever call, you'd get exactly the same result in Texas Hold'Em, i.e. the person with the most money will win every single time.
Sometimes I wonder if the people writing about this stuff even has a cursory study in the field they're writing about.
