Custom Game                          
"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!
