that's what mason told me. not directly, but on page 64 of gambling theory and other topics. im a little worried. im having a bit of trouble calculating my SD and so on. ive been running really good since the start of this year (my results are below if anyone wants to be a dear and help me with the math), but i want to try and get a handle on what my true expectation is. ive still only played about 1000 hours in live games and probably another 800-1000 online since i started playing consistently early last year..
i have questions. for instance, for the sd do i really have to take 50 numbers and square them and then divide them by the hours played and then so on? or is there a math short cut?
