World-Series betting problem:

You are a broker, and your favored client seeks to bet $10,000 on the
outcome of the (entire) world series.  It is a series of at most
seven baseball games in which the first team to win 4 games wins the
series.

You are unable to find a marketplace in which to place this bet
directly, BUT you do find a market which accepts bets, at even odds,
on each individual game.  So you decide to bet some money on the first
game, and then, possibly depending on who wins, some more moeny on
the second game, etc, etc.  Your goal is to ensure that if your
client's team wins the series, you cumulative winnings should be
at least $10,000,  and if your client's team loses the series, you
should not have lost any more than his $10,000.

How much do you bet on the first game?  In subsequent games?
