SyntaxError: invalid syntax Why?

Ok this is weird... I'm trying to accomplish the following: if i have lost up to 2 times then bet = startingbet but if I have lost more than 2 times maximum of (5 times lost) then bet = bet * 2 if more than 5 times lost then bet = startingbet

                if losttwice <= 2:
                    bet = startingbet
                elif losttwice <= 5:
                    bet = bet * 2
                else:
                    bet = startingbet

also if possible can anyone help me to add one more thing to this. I would like to do a random 50% chance when losttwice <= 2 (when I lost 1-2 times) for it to be bet = startingbet or bet = bet * 2 based on 50% chance

Thanks a lot!

The error:

  File "scripy.py", line 153
    elif losttwice <= 5:
       ^

You're mixing tabs and spaces. One tab is equivalent to eight spaces, so your code really looks like this to the interpreter (solid lines are tabs, dotted lines are spaces):

enter image description here

You have to keep your indentation consistent. Use just tabs or just spaces. PEP8 recommends four spaces, which is what most projects use.
