Imagine that you play poker and the file 1.txt is your buy-in, and in 2.txt is your gains. I want to know the tournament that have more proffit and less proffit.

1.txt
Code:
aa:1000
bb:2000
cc:3000
dd:4000
ee:5000

2.txt
Code:
aa:0
bb:1000
cc:1500
dd:3000
ee:2000

Result: dd more profit; aa less profit

Is this homework?

Assuming the files always have identical lines, i.e. same games in the same order:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# open files
exec 5<1.txt
exec 6<2.txt

while true
do
        read -d ':' GAME PROFITA <&5 || break
        read -d ':' GAME PROFITB <&6 || break

        echo "${GAME}:  profit $((PROFITB-PROFITA))"
done

# close files
exec 5>&-
exec 6>&-

Sorry, didn't see your reply. Yes, one file makes it much easier and gets rid of many potential errors.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

while IFS=":" read NAME A B
do
        echo "Profit for ${NAME}:$((A-B))"
done < filename
