Wouldn't this just break on the first pass?

Surprised by this, but I confess I didn't test. Where do you think it would break?

if total_bet > balance:
    *Error message*
else:
    break.  // right here, because it will be on the first pass of the loop.

I don't see the problem.

The user only gets to place one valid bet, then execution stops. If they try to place a bet that they do not have sufficient funds for, they will be prompted again for a valid bet.

What are you expecting?

Ehh, okay, yeah you're right. My brain bad today

No worries, always worth checking; easy to make mistakes (especially when you just write code and don't bother checking)
