    Step 1: Expected value = - 2.53 dollars

    He makes - 1,803.89 dollars over 713 of these bets.

    Step 2:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Expected value of bet = (Winning probability * winning amount) - (losing probability * losing amount)

    Winning probability = (13/52) * (12/51) = 0.0588

    Losing probability = 1 - 0.0588 = 0.9412

    Expected value = (37 * 0.0588) - (5 * 0.9412)

    Expected value = - 2.53 dollars

    If this same bet of expected value - 2.53 dollars is made 713 times, our expected losses are:

    2.53 * 713 = 1,803.89 dollars

    Thus he makes - 1,803.89 dollars over 713 of these bets.
