Real tough problem.....pls try...

You have 100 to start with and 10 bets to make. Each bet turns on the
result of a coin flip. The oracle will tell you which way the coin will
fall, but may lie on just one occasion and may do so after seeing your
bet for that flip. Placing an x dollar bet will return 2x dollars if
the oracle is correct, 0 dollars if wrong. Come up with the strategy
which ensures you the largest possible amount (that is, the strategy
which whose worst-case scenario is as good as possible).
