Blafarm,
This is correct, however does not take into account the NEGATIVE side of things; what if you lose ?? There exists something like negative results
. So this is not realistic.
This is what you expect to make per dollar in your investment, or, put in another way: ($20-$3.1)*0.8 =$13.52 upside potential vs ($3.1-$1.2)*0.2=$0.38 downside potential; your ME=$13.14 is what you EXPECT to make for every dollar you invest (accounting for he probability that your investment might not work out).

An investment has a 10% chance of a 100% return and a 90% chance of a 50% return. The expected return is calculated as:
Expected Return = 0.1(1) + 0.9(0.5) = 0.55 = 55%.

Question:
What is the proper way to interpret (or equate) 1.5 dollars in your example vs. 12 dollars in my example?
