Situation A you vote for 3rd party

candidate T gets t votes
candidate B gets b-1 votes
candidate 3 gets 1 vote

candidate 3 loses for sure winner is biggest of ‘t’ and ‘b-1’. Which we can rewrite as biggest of ‘t+1’ and ‘b’

Where is my money?!

wrong. a cast vote for candidate 3 is not a lost vote for candidate B. Furthermore variable b decreasing doesn't increase the total of variable t so no you can't "rewrite" it like that with magic math. This is how it works, it's actually very simple:

candidate T gets t votes

candidate B gets b votes

candidate X gets x votes
