"NO" is the number of hands at
which the average profit will be one standard deviation away from zero. In other words, "NO" is the
number of hands |
|
at which you have approximately an 84%
chance of being ahead. |
|
|
Deuces Wild is highlighted because it has
the lowest value for NO for all cashback up to 2%. However, if there is 3% cashback in heaven, |
|
then Pick 'Em would have a lower NO than
Deuces Wild. |
|
|
If you download this table as an Excel
file, you will be able to replace any of the cashback values with ones of
your own choosing. Thus, if you want
to know what happens |
|
with 0.33% cashback, you merely replace one
of the cashback values at the top (say 0.3%) with 0.33%, and the values in
the table will change accordingly. |
|
|
|
If you find another game you are interested
in, you can use the "Custom Game" line at the bottom of the
table. You can also replace one of the
games in the table. You |
|
simply put in the name of the game, the
variance and the ev. The table values
will change accordingly. |

Thanks to brumar_lv for suggesting the
table idea and for finding some errors in the first table! |
