Now I am puzzled.

When I first read your posting, I thought it was the bot-owner who chose 
the handicap and received the payment.  It seemed to me that the prizes 
were the wrong way round.  Then I read it carefully, and realised that 
the pro can choose a very safe 50€ or a slightly risky 300€.

But now you have reversed it, and the pro can choose a risky 50€ or a 
very safe 300€.  At least one of us is confused.
